Edgar Dyer (right) with his father at the Dunster Saddlery, 1920s
Edgar Dyer was a Private in the 13th Hussars, and it’s likely that he spent at least some of his war service in the Middle East – the 13th Hussars were initially posted to the Western Front, but transferred to Mesopotamia in 1916, taking part in the capture of Baghdad in March 1917. Returning home to Dunster, he joined his father at the saddlery in the High Street, and ran the business until he died in 1975. He is buried in Dunster cemetery. His elder brother Arthur, a tailor, is also recorded on the Memorial plaque.

Two of our museum stewards, Barbara and Lesley, have been busy this year researching the lives of all the World War One servicemen listed on Dunster’s memorial plaque. If you have any information that would help their research, they would love to hear from you, photos especially welcome. And if you are currently a Dunster resident and would like to know whether any of our servicemen lived in your house or nearby, they can help with that as well. You can contact them via our email address [email protected]
