Extract from The Roll of Honour, A Biographical record of all members of His Majesty's Naval and Military Forces who have fallen in the War, by the Marquis de Ruvigny, Volume I., The Standard Art Book Company, Ltd, December, 1916:
DASHWOOD, FRANK LEOPOLD, Lance-Corporal, No. 241, D Company, 10th Battalion Australian Imperial Force, first and only surviving son of the late Leopold Dashwood, of 180, Dereham Road, Norwich, Commercial Traveller, by his wife, Lottie, daughter of the late William Worts, of North Walsham; b. Norwich, 9 Feb. 1882: educated Cambridge House and Higher Grade Schools, Norwich; joined the Royal Garrison Artillery in 1901 during the South African war, and served eight years with the Colours and four in the Reserve. He emigrated to Australia in 1911, and on the outbreak of the war joined the Commonwealth Expeditionary Force, 12 Aug. 1914, and was killed in action at the Dardanelles, 26 April, 1915; unmarried. His Captain wrote: "He was a very fine soldier indeed, stood out from some others as a particularly smart example. It was not until we had been some time in Egypt that he would accept promotion, otherwise he would have been much higher in rank than he was. There is no question he was popular with the men in his section."
