No news article here, but from this side of the pond (US) I can tell you there were several Frank Dawsons who served in the Civil War. When you get ready to research them you'll have to provide some specific information to identify him (year of birth and state in which he served, or at least if he fought for North or South, as well as the family profile, such as who was traveling/living with him and their names/ages). Frank Dawson isn't that common of a name, but common enough to allow for at least 10 of them during the CW.
