Will Dalton
Last updated: 08.06.25
All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Will Dalton from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was presumably an English music hall entertainer who has been featured on 9 works published between 1898 and 1902. His portrait on the left is taken from The Town Crier (1899) music by A.J. Mills, and published by Francis, Day & Hunter, London W.C.2, England.

The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
