Major Clive MacDonnell Dixon (10 February 1870 in Middlesbrough – 5 November 1914 in Ypres) was an English illustrator and soldier, best known for the charming images in his book The Leaguer of Ladysmith, created during the four-month Siege of Ladysmith in South Africa.
This material also appeared in the Ladysmith Lyre at the time of the siege.
The Sphere praised the book, describing it as 'highly humorous and showing comic sketching genius'.
