This material also appeared in the Ladysmith Lyre at the time of the siege. The Sphere praised the book, describing it as "highly humorous and showing comic sketching genius". He attended Rugby School and Sandhurst before embarking on a military career and was appointed second lieutenant in the 16th Lancers in October 1890, and Captain in 1899.
During the Second Anglo-Boer War 1899-1901 he was aide-de-camp to Sir George White, and was promoted a brevet Major in November 1900.
He was killed at Ypres shortly after receiving the substantive promotion to Major. He was buried in the Nieuwkerke Churchyard in Belgium.
Several watercolours by Dixon are kept by the Africana Museum.
