Brigadier-General Frederick William Lumsden, VC, CB, DSO & Three Bars (14 December 1872 – 4 June 1918) was a British officer in Royal Marine Artillery and during the First World War.

[2][3] Lumsden married Mary, the daughter of Lieutenant General Thomas N. Harward of the Royal Artillery, in December 1894.

[citation needed] Lumsden joined the Royal Marine Artillery as a junior officer in September 1890.

In order to effect this, he personally led four artillery teams and a party of infantry through the hostile barrage.

By this time the enemy, in considerable strength, had driven through the infantry covering points, and blown up the breach of the remaining gun.

[14] Lumsden was killed in action in his 46th year at Blairville, near the city of Arras, France, on 4 June 1918.

[1][15][16][17] In 1920 the Mess of the Royal Marines commissioned H. Donald Smith to paint two portraits of Lumsden.
