The Royal Engineers.

His father's occupation was given as a Sapper in the Royal Engineers

The name of William S. Dawson is commemorated on a Boer War Memorial Monument in the grounds of St. Andrews Church, St. Andrew's Street, Dublin. The wording on the inscription is unclear, and it is not certain if the monument recordes the name of those from the parish who died or who served.
