Rflmn. Edward Vaughan Williams
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Irish Rifles
from:4 Falkland Road, Hornsey, London N8
(d.14th Oct 1918)
My father used to tell me the story about his two uncles, Edwin and Newton Williams. Edwin was a year older than Newton, and just after Edwin's 18th birthday he was called for active service. Although his father was Welsh and mother English, he was signed up with the Royal Irish Rifles and served only a few months in France, as he died on the 14th October 1918, just a few weeks before war ended. His younger brother Newton lived well into his late 80's.
