Kōrero taurongo
- Son of John and Mary Ann Watson.
Resident of New Zealand for 5 years before enlistment.
Tipton Herald 9th February 1918. "New Zealand Gunner falls in battle. Formerley of Tipton and Halesowen. A cablegram was received this week by Mr. A. Watson, of Dudley, giving him the sad news that his brother, Gunner Donald Watson, who was attached to the Signalling Section of the New Zealand Field Artillery has been killed in action. Before going out to New Zealand six years ago, he lived with his parents in Waxland Road, Halesowen, and was employed at Messrs Stewart and Lloyds, Coombs Wood. He was a member of the Halesowen Liberal Club whilst resident in the district, and when on four days leave last November he paid a visit to his friends. Gunner Watson was born at Dudley Port, and was educated at the Church Schools, Tipton. He was 25 years of age and single. He was killed about the middle of January, and a large circle of friends in the district will hear of his death with much sorrow."
