Boer War Victoria Cross Medal Recipient. He served as a Corporal in the Royal Horse Artillery. On December 20, 1901, during an attack at Tafelkop, South Africa, Corporal Ind stuck to his pompom gun under very heavy fire. When the whole remainder of the team had been shot down, he continued to fire into the advancing enemy until the last possible moment. For gallant conduct, he was promoted Sergeant and awarded the Victoria Cross Medal by His Majesty King Edward VII in November, 1902.
