Orlando Norrie (1832 - 1901) 6th Inniskilling Dragoons of Irish County Fermanagh Watercolour Signed lower right, undated 160 x 270mm Provenance: Private collection, Christchurch The 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons was a famous heavy cavalry regiment of the British Army raised in 1689 in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland. Distinction: They fought in major engagements including the Battle of the Boyne (1690), the Charge of the Union Brigade at Waterloo (1815), and the Charge of the Heavy Brigade at Balaclava (1854). Lawrence Edward Grace Oates (born 1880) received his commission in the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons in 1900 and served with distinction in the Boer War, where he was wounded and recommended for the Victoria Cross. Antarctic Expedition: He joined Captain Robert Falcon Scott's 1910 Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole. Self-Sacrifice: Stricken with severe frostbite and gangrene on the return journey in March 1912, Oates realised his condition was endangering his remaining comrades. On his 32nd birthday (March 17), he walked out of their tent into a blizzard, uttering the famous final words: "I am just going outside and may be some time."
