Pte. Albert Dawson

British Army 17th Btn. Royal Fusiliers

from:Stopsley, Bedfordshire

(d.28th May 1917)

Albert Dawson was killed near Fresnoy in France. His death is recorded in the regimental War diary as follows:

"On the 28th, the enemy retaliated for the shelling of the previous night. During the day his guns waxed furious and swept the Brigade area with shell of all calibre. Yet, though he battered the defences, blew in dug-outs and in places turned the trenches of the Fusiliers into a sorry spectacle, only one man was killed and two had to be sent down suffering from shell shock."
