Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of James DICKSON, Warrnambool, Vic.

DICKSON.- In remembrance of my dear little comrade, John Russell Dickson, who died of influenza at Amiens on the 15th October, 1918.

His memory leaves behind a shining light. For the light of a pure and noble life can never die.
