Herbert Stephen Henderson VC (30 March 1870 – 10 August 1942) was a Scottish born Rhodesian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest British and Commonwealth award. ==Details== Henderson was 26 years old, and a trooper in the Rhodesia Horse, Bulawayo Field Force during the Matabeleland Rebellion, Rhodesia when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.〔Ian Uys. For valour: the history of Southern Africa's Victoria Cross heroes, 1973, ISBN 0 620 00822 9, Chapter 10, pp 95-101〕 On 30 March 1896 at Campbell's Store, near Bulawayo, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), a patrol which had been sent to the rescue of another beleaguered patrol, was surprised by rebels and Trooper Henderson and another trooper were cut off from the main party. The second trooper was shot through the knee and his horse killed, so Trooper Henderson put the wounded man on his own horse, and, walking beside it, made his way to Bulawayo, 35 miles away.They had to move principally by night, as the country was full of marauding rebels and they had no food for two days and one night. He was involved in the mining industry. He was prevented from serving in World War I as he was working in a reserved occupation.
