I was wondering whether anybody could provide me with the first names of NZ Brigadier A. B. Williams Biography of Brigadier A.B. Williams
I can't find his name at all I'm afraid - I checked the London Gazette in case it was there - I checked US awards in case it was there ... but he seems to be mysterious !! I did find a picture of the Legion of Merit ... if thats any good !! Brig A. B. Williams, DSO, m.i.d., Legion of Merit (US); Cambridge; born Rotorua, 4 Feb 1892; Regular soldier; NZ Fd Arty, 1915–19
Hi Steen, I would suggest an email to the New Zealanders. Everything I found on him stated A.B. Sorry we could not assist. Cheers Geoff
Finally – after some extended searches I got his name. Searching “Williams, d.s.o.” AND nz in Google Books finally revealed his name as Alan Bernard Williams. So now the London Gazette is no problem Nevertheless Thank you for spending your time and giving it a try.
Just as I found him ................ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... he's been driving me crazy ! hwell: NEW ZEALAND FIELD ARTILLERY - HONOURS AND AWARDS
