One of two posthumously awarded recipients of the Victoria Cross who lived in this one suburban street in Bournemouth, something of a record maybe. This plaque commemorates the posthumous award of the VC to Corporal Cecil Reginald Noble who was fatally wounded at Neuve Chapelle in 1915, and who was born here in 1891 at 175, Capstone Road.
