Cornelius Coughlan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Coughlan
He was 28 years old, and a Colour Sergeant in the 75th Regiment (later The Gordon Highlanders), British Army during the Indian Mutiny when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 8 June 1857 at Delhi, India, Colour-Sergeant Coughlan gallantly ventured under heavy fire, with three others, into a serai occupied by the enemy in great numbers and rescued a private of their regiment who was severely wounded.

An account of his bravery on 18 July in the London Gazette read: "Colour Sgt Coughlan encouraged a party who hesitated to charge down a lane raked by a cross-fire, then entering with the said party, into an enclosure filled with the enemy, destroyed every man; for having also on the same occasion returned under a cross-fire to collect dhoolies [early stretchers] to carry off the wounded."

Queen Victoria felt moved to write a personal letter to Sgt Major Coughlan on hearing about his act of bravery.
