Service DetailsHarry Williams (Senior) was a native of Coventry in Warwickshire and will have moved to Prescot to seek employment in the Watch Factory. When the factory closed in 1911, it would appear that the family moved back to Warwickshire.
His father, Harry, was listed as next of kin
Henry Williams inscription on the Tyne Cot memorial
Harry's Medal Index Card for some reasons reports that he served with the Middlesex Regiment. I believe this to be a simple clerical error
