On the 6th ult., of fever, off Sebastopol, on board H.M.S. Bellerophon, Lord Frederick Leveson Gower, Rifle Brigade, second son of the Duke of Sutherland. He had accompanied his regiment to the Crimea, but was prevented from landing, being confined to his bed through illness. He was about completing an exchange into the battalion of the Coldstream Guards serving in the Crimea.

DEATH OF LORD FREDERICK LEVESON GOWER.
Lord Frederick Leveson Gower, second son of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, is among the latest victims to the severity of the Eastern campaign. His Lordship died on board H.M.S. Bellerophon, now on her voyage back to England. This gallant young nobleman, although suffering severely from illness previously contracted at Varna, persisted in accompanying his comrades to the Crimea. When the troops landed at Eupatoria, he was so weak that it was found impossible to convey him ashore, and his Lordship was on his way home when cut off thus prematurely.

(Nottinghamshire Guardian, 2 Nov 1854, page 7)
It is with much regret we announce the decease of Lord Frederick Leveson Gower, of the Coldstream Guards, at the seat of war in the Crimea. His lordship escaped at the victory on the heights of the Alma, where he served with the Rifle Brigade; but subsequently fell a victim to the prevailing epidemic. His lordship was on the eve of returning to England, having exchanged into the Coldstream Guards.
