Author. She was a 19th-century English author whose husband was Captain Henry Duberly, a paymaster to the 8th Royal Irish Hussars, part of the British light cavalry. Her journal of personal experiences and frustrations during the Crimean War, including the Battle of Balaklava and the charge of the Light Brigade, was published in 1856. After surviving bullets, cholera, and a shipwreck, the couple was sent to India in 1856. A second book, "The Two Wars of Mrs. Duberly: an Intrepid Victorian Lady's Experience of the Crimea and Indian Mutiny," followed a few years later, giving her account of the suppression of the Sepoy Mutiny, a rebellion of Bengal Native Army of India in 1857. She rode on horseback for over 2,000 miles while in India. Her husband was part of the British light cavalry that took part in the Charge of the Light Brigade. Born Frances Isabella Locke, the daughter of a banker, she lived with an older brother after her mother's death. Although not well-documented, she was well-educated. Though living in Victorian England, she was a strong-minded, determined woman. At age sixteen, she married Duberly in 1845 and he called her "Fanny." She traveled with him in his deployments. She was one of the only officer's wives at the bloody front during the Crimean War. The horrors of war were documented for the British public in her detailed account publication, "Journal Kept During the Russian War." Although her documentation was found to be factual, she used satirical overtones in her writings. The couple had no children. Her husband reached the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Army Pay Department before being discharged. Her life as an army wife has been mentioned in several books and as a character in the 1968 British film, "Charge of the Light Brigade".
