Charles Gardner Rought (16 October 1884 – 31 January 1919) was a British rower who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.[1]
Life
Rought was born in Surbiton. He became a member of Thames Rowing Club and in 1909 and 1911 was a member of the crew that won the Stewards' Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta. Also in the 1911 regatta, Rought and Bruce Logan dead heated in a heat of Silver Goblets against the eventual winners Julius Beresford and Arthur Cloutte to set a course record which lasted until 1934.[2] A year later in 1912 Rought and Logan won Silver Goblets.[3] Rought was a member of the Thames Rowing Club coxed four which won the silver medal for Great Britain rowing at the 1912 Summer Olympics.[4]
Rought saw service in the First World War[5] in the Royal West Surrey Regiment[6] but spent much of the conflict as a Prisoner of War.[7] Rought died in the Lambeth district aged 34.[8] The cause of death was a bad oyster. Since Rought was awaiting demobilisation at the time, he technically died on active service.[9]
