The New Zealand Mounted Rifles Association is interested in any material relating to Trooper Alfred Dickenson (spelling on roll) or Dickeinson.
We have his gravesite as ,unlocated, in the "History of the WMR" - we would like to create a fuller record of this trooper on our website at:

If you would like to add any more information to this page, you can either email us at info@nzhistory.net.nz and we'll add it to the caption, or enter it as another community contribution directly yourself.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am a relative of Alfred Dickenson (the correct spelling is Dickinson) and I have a reasonable amount of information about him which I can provide to you. There is information about the circumstances of his death and burial in a book about Gallipoli and I also have several photographs of him taken before his death.
Let me know if you would be interested in receiving the information so that you can decide whether it should feature as a post on the site.
Yours faithfully,
David Josland
