The Military Medal has been given to W. Williams for gallant conduct on September 5th; and his mother has had the pleasure of seeing the letter of congratulation from Sir A. Hunter-Weston in command of Army Corps viii.  Unhappily his brother Jessie Williams is reported killed, and another of our men, James Jones, of the Row has died from influenza.  Two active, vigorous young men, alas gone.  We shall hope to place Tablet on the Church walls with the names of these and others, who have fallen in the War.

A photograph of Corporal James Jones of Holt can be found in Berrow’s Worcester Journal Supplement, Saturday 30th November 1918, available at Worcestershire Archives.
