"Hubert mentions Dave, who is my brother, called ‘little red’ by your father... He was with us in the front lines when Sgt. Gilmore was hit and killed by a shell fragment. Dave was hit on the hand by a tiny shell fragment, but lost only a tiny bit of blood." - from James Mason's note to Hubert 'Pot Hound' Dawson's daughter Dorothy in 1984
"Dave in the picture still looks very much like the teenage civilian who showed up at Camp Greene at his own expense and was sworn into service by Capt. Ennis, the only recruit we got that way in WWI. A very much worthwhile companion in that dirty mess, and appreciated I think." - Hubert Dawson, commenting on a 1977 photograph of Dave
