205940 L/Sgt. Henry Clarke Dixon British Army 2nd Btn. Dorsetshire Regiment from:South Ulversion (d.17th Nov 1914) To-day I was browsing around my local car boot market in Tyrone, N.Ireland and going through a box of old books. The book is called "The Pirates Gold".Anyway it states that this book was presented to Henry Dixon in the year 1898.First prize at(St Jude's South Ulversion Sunday School) Class No6 by Teacher J.Oliver. Rector J.W. ? can't really make out.A fountain pen inscription on inside is by his nephew W.Parnell. It states,this book belonged to my Uncle Henry Clarke Dixon who was killed in the Great War in Africa during 1914. What I'd like to know does anybody know anything about this man of war, is there a great story behind him? Editor's note: The CWGC website tells us Henry Dixon served with the 2nd Btn. Dorsetshire Regiment in Mesopotamia (Iraq). He lost his life on the 17th of November 1914 and is buried in the Basra War Cemetery.
