That's certainly a possibility - I know he was disciplined in the first half of 1916 for overstaying his leave

Steve - is there any chance you could send me your email address privately? I am related to John Williams (the family called him Jack by the way) and have some more information for you and would be very interested in speaking with you about him. He was my great, great Uncle.

Exciting stuff for me as we can hopefully fill in some gaps at our end too!!

Best regards,

Sean Jones (formerly of the Llyn Peninsula, now Yorkshire!)

The man on the right is a Corporal and not a Bombardier. Before 1920 when the RA dispensed with Corporals, a Bombardier only had one stripe.
