Dann, W C

W C Dann

Rank: Lance Corporal

Regiment: Army Service Corps

Address: Hastings

Other Info: The text reads: This photograph was taken at Salonika. It shows Sergeant J H Paynton and Lance Corporal W C Dann of the A.S.C. They met in Greece quite unexpectedly. Both were prominent members of the Hastings Parliament before war broke out, Sergeant Paynton being a vigorous champion of working men’s rights, and Lance Corporal Dann a Unionist whip. Other old Parliamentarians in Hastings will wish them good luck and a safe return to their native land.

  • Hello
    We believe the newspaper has the name wrong. Thats Joseph Henry Poynton, my great grandfather. A member of the Hastings Parliament pre WW1 and an active socialist. Too much of a chance to be another. Quite a surprise as we had never seen a photo in uniform before.
    Regards
    Andy
