John William Dadson

4/1769 World War I, 1914-1918 Son of John William & Maria Emma Dadson of Auckland, New Zealand. Mon Oncle Jean Il était jeune, Il aimait bien construire, Il est devenu ingénieur, Et il a répondu à l’appel De sa patrie. Il est allé loin de ses copains, De sa famille, Âgé seulement de vingt et un ans Il fut tué à la guerre. Seul il est resté, loin de sa famille, Dans ce cimitière tranquille. Dans ces années-là, pour son père et ses frères, Une visite était impossible à faire. Et maintenant, quatre-vingt ans plus tard, Pour moi, sa nièce, c’est devenu possible. J’y voyagerai en France – je retrouverai sa tombe, Et agenouillée, Je pleurerai pour toi, Mon oncle Jean. Rosa Waddington 9 Septembre 1999 [Translation] My Uncle John He was young, He liked to build things, He became an engineer, And he responded to the call Of his country. He went off, far from his friends, From his family, Aged only twenty-one He was killed in the war. Alone he remained, far from his family, In this quiet cemetery. In those years, for his father and his brothers, It was impossible to visit. And now, eighty years later, For me, his niece, it has become possible. I will travel to France - I will find his grave, And kneeling down, I'll weep for you, My uncle John. Methodist/Christian 12 Dec 1895 J. W.
