I know little about John Dickinson except that he was very good at drawing. He died on 28 August at the age of 23 which is the same day as my first son was born exactly 64 years later. Thank you, Great Uncle. I wish you could have survived to live a full and happy life. Through the sacrifice of you and your comrades my family has been more privileged and comfortable than any prior generation. We should never ever forget that we owe this to you.
