Notes:
Williams enlisted in the RAF at 16, training as an electrical engineer. He was posted to 31 Squadron and spent much of the 1930s touring Singapore and India.
Williams was involved in the D-Day landing, and survived the war unscathed.
Post-war, he was posted to Occupied Hamburg, and, while driving through the city, his Jeep was rammed by a lorry, sending him into a tree. He was treated in Hamburg before being transferred to QVH, where he spent 18 months.
