2nd Lt. Richard Dolman MM.

British Army North Somerset Yeomanry

from:Bathampton, Bath

My great grandfather Dick Dolman joined the Nth. Somerset Yeomanry around 1909. Equivalent to the TA they were called up in Aug 1914. I have a photo of him in Queen Square, Bath with his horse, waiting to entrain for Salisbury Plain. I'm sure he told me he had to supply the horse himself.

At some point he moved to the Som LI and having been a sergeant in 1914 ended the war as a 2nd Lieut. No one in the family knows for what deed his MM was awarded. He survived the war unscathed and died in may 1970 at the age of 92.
