Kingsman Dawson was born in Ashton on 28 December 1990. He attended the Army Training Regiment Bassingbourn, before completing his basic training at the Infantry Training Centre Catterick in August 2008.
Kingsman Dawson deployed with Chindit Company, in support of the Household Caalry Regiment Battle Group, in the Battle Group North West area of operations. He was based at Patrol Base Minden approximately 7km to the south of Musa Qalah.
He was employed as a Sharpshooter within a sniper pair and was responsible for identifying and engaging insurgents that posed a threat to both Afghan and British soldiers as well as Afghan locals.
This work was often done at long ranges and demanded judgement, patience and excellent marksmanship, all qualities he held in spades.
Kingsman Dawson leaves behind his father Sean, his mother Karen, his brothers Jack and James, his sisters Anna, Danielle and Summer and his girlfriend Sadie
Donations are welcome, via Elizabeth Way Family Funeral Service, for Afgan heroes.
