DickinsonHarold LissamanLieutenantHe was killed in action at Langverwacht near Klip River, February 24th, 1902. The only son of Mrs Dickinson of 5 Cranmer Square, Christchurch, New Zealand. He was born in Manchester, England, October 1875. Having been taken to New Zealand when only three years old, he was educated there at Christchurch College, where he served in the College Volunteer Corps. He was an excellent shot and a good horseman. Lieutenant Dickinson accompanied the 1st New Zealand Contingent to South Africa as a trooper and served under Lieutenant General French. He was present at the action of Slingersfontein, January 15th, 1900, where the New Zealanders behaved with such gallantry, Captain Madocks the officer in command killing the Boer leader. The charge with fixed bayonets ordered by Captain Madocks, in which Lieutenant Dickinson took part swept the Boers from the hills, and is mentioned in the despatch of Lieutenant General French, February 2nd, 1900. Lieutenant Dickinson was also present at the relief of Kimberley, the battles of Paardeberg, Driefontein and Sanna's Post, the advance on Pretoria and the action at Diamond Hill. In February 1901, he returned to New Zealand, but being given a commission as Lieutenant he was back again in South Africa in April and saw much fighting. In the action in which he was killed, the 7th New Zealand Contingent to which he belonged made a most gallant resistance to an overwhelming attack by the Boers under Manie Botha. Seven out of eight officers were struck down, and of the men 20 were killed and 40 wounded. It is stated that only ten men came out of the fight untouched. Lieutenant Dickinson's voice was heard above the noise and firing rallying and cheering his men until he fell shot through the head. Two medals, one with five clasps the other with two, were awarded him for his services.
