The Project Gutenberg EBook #14086 of Carry On: Letters in Wartime, by Lieutenant Coningsby Dawson, Novelist and Soldier, Canadian Field Artillery 1917 includes:
- "By the time this reaches you I'll be in the line again, but for the present I'm undergoing a special course of training. You can't hear the most distant sound of guns, and if it wasn't for the pressure of study, similar to that at Kingston, one would be very rested." February 4, 1917.[1]

Discrepancy in date of death edit
Between source one and source two (The Times obit and Merton College Register), there is a discrepancy in Dawson's date of death. Source two reports that he dies in July, but the cited information in the article says August. The Times obit is paywalled, so I cannot resolve this dispute.
