Autorenporträt
Coningsby Dawson, an Anglo-American novelist and Canadian Field Artillery soldier, was born in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. Dawson matriculated at Merton College, Oxford, in 1902 and graduated with a second-class degree in Modern History in 1905. He spent a year at Union Seminary studying theology before deciding to pursue a career as a writer. In the same year, he traveled extensively in America, doing special work for English newspapers on Canadian themes. He lived in Taunton, Massachusetts, from 1906 to 1910, when he was appointed literary adviser to the George H. Doran Publishing Company. In 1914, he went to Ottawa to see Sir Sam Hughes and was offered a commission in the Canadian Field Artillery after completing his training at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario. "His extensive training at Kingston had been quite rigorous. Aside from the different programs he attended, he did a lot of hard exercise, such as long rides or foot marches over ice roads before breakfast. In July 1916, he was selected for immediate deployment in France alongside twenty-four other officers. His younger brothers joined the Naval Patrol and were later recruited in Canada by Commander Armstrong.
