Pte. Robert Charles Frederick Dixon
British Army 11th Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers
from:Derby
Robert Dixon, my grandfather, was born 11th February 1887 at Ibstock, Leicestershire. He served in WW1 with the 11th Lancashire Fusiliers. He was reported Killed in Action on 27th May 1918 in France. I have the letter informing my grandmother. However, he had been gassed in a shell hole and apparently, rather than hit him with the butt of his rifle, a German took him as a P.O.W. It was a huge shock to my grandmother when some time later he walked into his home in Derby, very much alive.
