History & Achievements :

1854. Frederick was dispatched to Ballarat where he was stationed for about two years. It seems highly probable that he participated in the Eureka Stockade rebellion (Sovereign Hill, Ballarat) on Sunday 3 December 1854 and its aftermath.: March 6, 1862 'Military Funeral' The funeral of Sgt Dutton, late of the detachment of the 12th Regiment
stationed here, took place here yesterday afternoon.: The deceased, who was 33 years of age, had been suffering for some time from a complaint on the lungs,
and his death, which took place on Tuesday evening last, was somewhat sudden. The funeral was the first of the kind which has taken place here, and hence attracted much attention, a large number of the inhabitants accompanying the cortege to the cemetery. The procession left the barracks about five o'clock, and consisted of the officers and men of the detachment, the Volunteer Band, a few members of the Volunteer force and a number of the police. The female relatives and friends of the deceased were also present. The funeral service was read by the Rev. G. Bliss, and procession formed afterwards in the following order:- The comrades of the deceased came first, in double file, with arms reversed; next followed the Volunteer Band playing 'Dead March in Saul'; then the Volunteers and police, and lastly the hearse. In this order the procession moved towards the burial ground, accompanied by a large number if citizens, the band playing at intervals throughout the route. At the grave, and at the conclusion of the burial service, three volleys were fired over the deceased by his comrades. The scene was solemn an imposing throughout,: A letter from Lt Seymore appeas in another column thanking the Volunteer Band and others who took part
in the procession. It is only justice to say that the service tendered by the band was well performed and effective, and reflected the highest credit on the skill of the master and the assiduity of the members, as this was their first appearance in public'.: Frederick served at Brisbane from January 1861 to March 1862. His grave has not been found and may
have been 'removed' when the Qld Govt. built its Hale Street bypass some years ago.
