Williams | George Albanus | | Major | He was killed in action at Tweefontein, in De Wet's attack on Christmas morning, 1901. He was the third son of General J W C Williams, KCB, of Morelands, Purbrook, Hants, and was born in September 1860. He entered the 80th Foot in January 1879, was promoted Lieutenant February 1881, Captain August 1887, and Major November 1896. He was adjutant of his battalion from August 1887 to April 1891, and afterwards adjutant of a provisional battalion from May 1891 to November 1895. He served in South Africa in 1879, in the Zulu Campaign, and in the subsequent operations against Sekukuni, receiving the medal with clasp. He also took part in the Nile Expedition of 1884-85, and was present at the action of Kirbekan, and received the medal with clasp and the Khedive's star. He went on special service to Ashanti, with the Expedition under Sir Francis Scott, in 1895-96, being mentioned in despatches and receiving the star awarded. Major Williams was ADC in India from September 1897 to December 1899, and was afterwards ADC to the General Officer Commanding a Division in South Africa, from January 2nd, 1900. At the time of his death, he was second in command of the 1st Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment. At Tweefontein the Boers attacked the British force by moonlight about two o'clock in the morning. The enemy crept up without their boots on, and in the confusion which ensued some of our men killed each other. Two Boers who put on our helmets were shot by their own men. Major Williams was killed while rallying those under his command. He was buried at Tweefontein, and his name was inscribed on an obelisk which has been erected there in memory of all who fell in this action.
