William Dickson (Falklands)
William Dickson, born Dublin, Ireland〔(The Irish in Falkland/Malvinas Islands ) Society for Irish Latin American Studies, 2005-11-01.〕 (died 26 August 1833) was an Irish-born settler in Port Louis in the Falkland Islands during a pivotal time in its history, following the removal of the Argentine military presence and leading up to the Port Louis Murders,〔http://www.history.horizon.co.fk/articles/murders.html〕 also known as the Gaucho Murders, during which he was killed in 1833.
==Appointment as British Representative==
On 2 January 1833, Captain Onslow, of the brig-sloop HMS ''Clio'', arrived at Louis Vernet's settlement at Port Louis to request that the flag of the United Provinces of the River Plate be replaced with the British one, and for the administration to leave the islands. While Major José María Pinedo, commander of the schooner ''Sarandí'', wanted to resist, his numerical disadvantage was obvious, particularly as a large number of his crew were British mercenaries who were unwilling to fight their own countrymen. Such a situation was not unusual in the newly independent states in Latin America, where land forces were strong, but navies were frequently quite undermanned. As such he protested verbally, but departed without a fight on 5 January.
Initial British plans for the Islands were based upon the continuation of Vernet's settlement at Port Louis. William Dickson was requested to fly the British flag whenever ships were in harbour.〔http://www.falklands.info/background/governors.html〕 Dickson held this office until his death on 26 August of the same year during the so-called Gaucho Murders.〔http://military-genealogy.forcesreunited.org.uk/2483/Falkland_Islands〕
