Neame survived and was decorated with the Victoria Cross, the highest accolade for valour in war.
He continued his career in the army while also pursuing an interest in rifle shooting, and competed in the 1924 Olympics with great success.
Neame went on to train the Tibetan army, before getting called up for World War Two.
He fought, and was captured, in North Africa, then was a prisoner of war in Italy before escaping back to Britain.
He died in 1978 and is buried in the village of Selling in Kent.
His son, with the same name, fought in the Falklands War in 1982.
In his home town of Faversham a plaque on the pavement near the guildhall commemorates Neame’s place in history.
