Sjt. William Dickinson MM & Bar.
British Army 18th Btn Durham Light Infantry
from:Hartlepool
My father William Dickinson couldn't get into the army fast enough in the summer of 1914 as he thought the war would be over by Christmas an didn't want to miss out. He went to Egypt then back for the Somme on July 1st 1916 where he was awarded his first military medal. He was awarded a bar to his MM. in April 1918 and was sent home for officer training by May/June and transferred to the RAF. He was demobbed from the RAF after training to be a pilot. He died in 1968 in Darlington.
