On Tuesday 27th April, A/B Dodson travelled to Aberlady situated on the Firth of Forth. The blackout regulations were rigidly enforced. Especially as the Royal Air Force Station at Drem was only some 3—4 miles to the south east of the town. Out in the countryside, and with severe restrictions on the use of lights. The darkness was only partly eased by star or moonlight. Unable to see in the gloom, a bus struck A/B Dodson, and ran over him. He was taken to hospital, where he was found to have died of his injuries. Able Seaman, LESLIE JOHN DODSON’S remains, were returned to Gosport, where on Monday 5th May 1943. He was laid to rest in the War Graves Section (see plan on back pages), Row 6 Grave 6, his final resting-place is commemorated by a CWG headstone.
