Dugmore was born in Birr and died on Guernsey.[1][2] He was a grandson of William Brougham, 2nd Baron Brougham and Vaux, and a brother of artist-author Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore.[3]

He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Service Corps on 16 August 1902,[4] and was stationed in South Africa in the aftermath of the Second Boer War.[5] He was listed as returning to Southampton on the SS Orcana in January 1903,[6] and as then stationed at Woolwich. He later fought in the First World War.[1]

In 1908 he finished eleventh in the triple jump event. Dugmore finished third in the high jump event at the 1909 AAA Championships.[7][8][9]
