3rd July 2005Son of Pte. J. Williams (Fielding), VC
By Nick Thornicroft
Did the son of Pte. Williams (Fielding), VC, enlist into the SWB as "Williams" or "Fielding"?
I know he fell in action during the first weeks of the war, but there is at least one candidate for each surname in the Casualty Roll.

Thank you.

By the "war", I meant WW1
