I just thought that I would let everyone know that there now exists a
complete listing of all the Dawsons who fought and died in the service
of the armies of the British Commonwealth during the First and Second
World Wars at http://www.globalserve.net/~dawson/projects.htm . There
were 1,432 Dawsons who fought and died either while in the service of
their countries during the First World War and Second World Wars or who
as civilians died as a result of the various conflicts.

It might be of interest to those pursuing the genealogy of Dawsons from
America that a number of American Dawsons are also listed here, since
they enlisted in a Commonwealth army prior to the United States entering
either world war. I have organized the listings intially by the
cemeteries in which they are buried, but will in the next week or so
list the individuals alphabetically, then by country or origin and then
by rank. These records will be of interest since they often aside from
listing the individuals enlistment number and regiment, they also
frequently include the addresses of the next of kin.

The second phase of this project will document the attestation papers,
medical histories, service records, etc. of Canadian Dawsons since these
are easier for me to acquire. I hope that you find this to be a useful
addition to the Dawson Family History Project site.

Cheers
