248860 Pte. Herbert Dixon British Army 5th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment from:Beverley Sadly I don't know very much of what happened to my Grandad, Herbert Dixon during the War. Whilst he was alive, he never wanted to talk about it and held his memories very close to his chest. I have since been given some old photos of my grandad during the War, and to be fair he looks very happy. I would love to hear from anyone who by chance in the world knew anything about my granddad.
