Further Information About WILLIAMS Alban Stanley

Alban Williams was the son of Alban and Margaret Williams of Engineers House, Stanley Road, Worcester. He attended Worcester Royal Grammar School from 1932 to 1940. He was popular at the school with an interest in dramatics alongside being Captain of Tudor House and vice captain of the rugby XV team. After being awarded a Meeke Scholarship in Modern History he left the school in 1940 to attend Hertford College, Oxford. Whilst there he received RAF training and then went to Florida where he gained his commission as a fighter pilot.

In his first combat, whilst serving in the Mediterranean, he destroyed an ME210 aircraft causing it to eventually crash into the sea. In October 1943 his squadron was in Southern Italy as part of the Balkan Air Force flying ground attack missions over Albania and Yugoslavia. His aircraft crashed in Yugoslavia during one of these missions and his body was never recovered.
