Biography
The School War Memorial lists two Harry Dawsons who served and confirms that both attended the school and survived.
One is definitely identified as the son of William and Emma Dawson (see above). Parish records suggest only one other man of this name who could have served, and he was born on June 20th 1880. His mother was Martha Dawson and he would have been thirty-four at the outbreak of war. Martha was the daughter of Charles Dawson and married George Handscombe on August 12th 1883, possibly his second wife.
