Williams, George Douglas

Born 14^th February 1894 Ulverstone Tasmania to Phillip Edward and Mary Ann Williams (nee Jacklin) a miner who departed Hobart 1^st July 1916 on board “HMAT Berrima” with the 40^th Infantry Battalion

Lance Corporal Williams was serving with the 47^th Battalion when he was killed in action 2^nd May 1918 and is commemorated in the Adelaide Cemetery, Villers-Bretonneux, France.

Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Williams of Waratah has just received the sad news (conveyed to them by the Rev. J. May) that their youngest son, Pte. George Douglas Williams, 47^th late 40th Battalion was killed in action on May 2, in his 24th year. He was a brave young soldier and nobly made the supreme sacrifice. His brother Captain Williams was wounded a short time ago. Much sympathy is felt for the family in their sad loss.
