Morpeth Herald 02/07/2015 carries a brief obituary:
News has been received of the death of Able Seaman James Dawson, R.N.V.R., Collingwood Battalion, who was killed in action in the Dardanelles, June 17th, {sic] 1915. He is the son of Ellen and the late George Dawson, of 2 Wescott Terrace, Penshaw, and late of Radcliffe Colliery. He also lived at Amble for some time. This brave youth was a good son and a happy natured lad, with ever a twinkle in his eye and a joke on his lip, was most popular with his many friends, and his untimely death is deeply deplored. Sympathetic references were made to his death at the Amble Wesleyan Church on Sunday evening last, where he attended when living [there]. He is one amongst the many brave young lads who have laid down their lives for their king and country and in the great fight for civilisation and freedom.
He is remembered at Amble on A13.01, A13.07 and A13.08 at Penshaw on P29.01 and at Shiney Row on S124.01
