223082 Pte. William Thomas Dawson British Army 10th Battalion Highland Light Infantry from:Stratford New Town, Essex (d.31st Aug 1918) I have a medal belonging to William Dawson and would like to frame it and give a little back of background of how he was killed and any pictures of him or his battalion he would have served with. William was 37ish when he was killed. He had a wife in Plaistow called Edith and they had a daughter called Doris but sadly she passed away in July 1911 at just 3 months old before the war. William, I think, may have joined up in Essex and sent to the HLI as there was a recruitment drive requiring 100,000 soldiers (don't hold me to that) he may have joined earlier. William was a tram conductor in 1911 according to the census. If anyway has any information about this brave man please do share it, it is so so important the men and woman are remembered not only now but in years to come. Thank you for reading.
