Leamington Spa Courier - Friday 15 May 1925; Colonel Dove was well known in Leamington as the distinguished soldier who was responsible for raising the local Fortress Company (R.E.) during the war, a sturdy body of men who were afterwards—in May, 1915—handed over to Capt. Aldred. He was attached to the Royal Engineers and passed out top of his batch at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. He served with the Bengal Sappers and Miners in the Jowaki Campaign of 1877-8, and in the Afghan War of 1877-80, when he was present at the capture of Ali Musjid. In both campaigns he gained a medal with clasp. After service in Hong Kong, he was Major, K.E., at Edinburgh, and subsequently at Preston in 1883.
