Robert and Deborah Ross Dixon managed well after the war. Just 9 months and a couple of weeks after Roberts return another baby boy is born. Young William (Bill) is excited to have a brother Robert Frederick Dixon was born on March 2, 1920 . Then 2 and a half years later a baby girl arrives on October 1, 1922 Florence Isabella Dixon . The family takes a trip back to Ireland and England in Th when they return home George Thomas Dixon is born in 1926. – and the family is complete. We have a photo of them below. Robert initially works as a teamster as he did before the war – although this time definitely a motorized behicle. After the great Depression Robert Before later working in a Steel Mill in London Ontario. Sadly the great war was not to be the war than ended all wars – wars don’t work that way – only 13 years after Roberts return from the Great War – ADolf Hitler comes to powere in Germany. And in 1939 World War 2 begins . And history repeats itself. William that young boy who was left with his mother during WW1 now heads off to WW2 – and he leaves a young son behind – also named Bill. And young Bill lives with his Grand parents in London Ontario and bonds with his grandfather Robert, until his father return with his war bride in 19 – Robert and Deborah. We will leave that story for another time. Deborah sadly passes of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1943 at the age of 54 years of age birth date given is August 10, 1889. Robert also passes at a relatively young age of 72 in 1961. We have to think they both would have lived longer if not for the stress placed on them by the Great War. Their resilience despite what they endured at the very start of their marriage is remarkable. Their recovery afterward is awesome and something to be very proud of. Sergeant Dixon is buried in London Ontario. A memorial is placed the grave of Sergeant Dixon to rightfully acknowledge him as a hero of the Great War.
