William (Bill) Dyson, aged 22, followed his younger brothers to enlist in January 1916 as they were enroute to Egypt. He joined the 7th Light Horse Regiment and left Australia during April 1916.
He was later transferred to the 2nd Light Horse Brigade Machine Gun Squadron and served in Egypt and Palestine as a driver until he returned to Australia in 1919.
His two brothers, Pte. Frederick Arthur Dyson and Bert Edward Dyson were both killed in action during 1916 and 1917, and have no known graves.
