In Memory of Rifleman William George Dimpsey, No. 7673, 1st Bn., King's Royal Rifle Corps who died on 04 January 1919 Age 30
Son of George and Eliza Dimpsey; husband of Emily F. Dimpsey, of Pavilion Rd., Aldershot.
Remembered with Honour, Copenhagen Western Cemetery
Note:
Copenhagen Western Cemetery contains 24 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, most of whom were released prisoners of war who died in the winter of 1918/19.
The names of 19 British soldiers appear on an imposing memorial in the Vestre Cemetery. All had died between 22 December 1918 and 13 January1919. They were all making their way home after having been held as prisoners of war in Germany. After surviving their imprisonment it is very sad that their journey home ended in Copenhagen; they did not get back to their loved ones.
Dimpsey, Papworth and Warren: The next funeral took place on 8 January: this time for three men, with Kilmarnock, Hazard, Kühl and Davidsen as representatives for the authorities and senior military and with Pastor Storm officiating. British soldiers from Sandholm camp and Danish soldiers from 21st. Battalion with band attended. Two of these men had died on HMHS Formosa, both were “old contemptibles” who had been prisoners of war for more than four years. William George Dimpsey, 30 years old, 1 Bn Kings Royal Rifle Corps, died on 4 January 1919 of Spanish flu. He had been in the war from the beginning, having been sent to France on 22 August 1914 and being taken prisoner on 2 November 1914.
