  • Photo of Richard James and Jane Anna– This photo is of David Dawson's parents, Richard James and Jane Anna, taken from their home in Ireland. We assume David immigrated to Canada, as he died fighting in WW1 as a Canadian Soldier. His brother Richard James (same name as father) immigrated to Australia - where we live now.
