Henry Charles Dumler, of German ancestry, was born in Manchester in 1868, and enlisted in the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, Manchester Regiment about 1888, which on the creation of the Territorial Force became 6th (Territorial) Battalion. He was awarded the Volunteer Long Service Medal as Sergeant per Army Order 206 of 1 November 1905.
During the Great War he served ‘at Home’, possibly due to his German heritage, as Quartermaster Sergeant at the Regimental Depot and was awarded the Territorial Force Efficiency Medal per Army Order No. 148 of April 1920. He died in Manchester, aged 79, in 1948.
