Lance Corporal Cecil Reginald Noble VC (4 June 1891 − 13 March 1915) was a British Army soldier and a posthumous English recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
The family lived in Capstone Road and he attended St Clement's Elementary School, and followed his father in working as a decorator.
When he was 23 years old, and an acting Corporal in the 2nd Battalion, The Rifle Brigade, on the Western Front the following deed took place for which he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.
On 12 March 1915 at Neuve Chapelle, France, when the advance of the battalion was impeded by wire entanglements and by very severe machine-gun fire, Corporal Noble and another man (Harry Daniels) voluntarily rushed in front and succeeded in cutting the wires.
Noble was buried at Longuenesse Souvenir Cemetery, two miles south of Saint-Omer, France, in plot I, row A, grave 57.
