The name written on the negative's negative's wrapper reads 'Dixon, Mr' however on researching men named ‘Dixon’ and ‘Dickson’ on the Auckland War Memorial Museum Cenotaph Database it is believed the spelling on the wrapper is possibly incorrect and the man depicted on the negative is thought to be Stanley Alexander Dickson who is the only man on the Cenotaph Database who served with the Medical Corps named Dickson or Dixon.
