Old Hulmeians and the War
Killed in Action
Second-Lieutenant ALFRED C DIXON, Lancashire Fusiliers, was reported missing and wounded on February 3rd 1916, and his death on or after that date is concluded. He took out a party of bombers, and suddenly came upon an enemy patrol of superior strength. He engaged at once, but was hit almost immediately. He was very popular with the battalion and his grenadiers were devoted to him. He entered our School in April 1906 and left in July 1908, proceeding to Mill Hill School, where he was sergeant of the O T C, head of his house and in the School XV, taking also a high place in class. He obtained his commission on leaving Mill Hill in December, 1914, when just over 18. His cheerful and unfailing gallantry and modest bearing won him the esteem and affection of officers and men. His elder brother, Captain T Herbert Dixon, Manchester Regiment, was wounded in May last, but is now well and at the front.
