220461 Pte. Matthew Burnett Dixon British Army 1st Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers from:Windy Nook (d.25th Oct 1918) Matthew Dixon joined the lst Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers and fought bravely through WW1 only to die a week before the end of the war, aged 27. He is buried at Awoingt British Cemetery. Matthew's two brothers also joined the Northumberland Fusiliers 18th Battalion Francis Albert Dixon who was killed 4th September 1917 aged 22, and Robert Dixon who survived the war. These boys were my beloved Grandmother's brothers. I believe they where miners and worked in the colliery at Heworth. We recently found out that Matthew was married in 1914 but have no other information of the other boys. We have decided to visit the graves soon, my cousin and I and will be the first of our family to go. God rest their souls. Unfortunately we have no photographs of any of the brothers.
