Pte. Roland Dixon
British Army
from:Oldham
Roly Dixon is my Grandfather. He often recalled his time at Ypres. His funny story was the fact that he had been sent home on R & R (Rest and Re-cooperation) and that when he returned to the front line, he was requested to carry a large flask of tea on his back, which was something more like and urn of tea. Unfortunately, his urn of tea had been punctured by a bullet, thereby the tea had drained from the flask. When he got to the front, they were all wishing that the urn of tea had survived and that it would be preferable that he had been shot. What a character.
