    In the autumn of 1913 John Reed was sent to Mexico by the Metropolitan Magazine to report the Mexican Revolution. He shared the perils of Pancho Villa's army for four months, present with Villa's Constitutional(must say Constitutonalist) Army (under Venustiano Carranza who was its "First or Principal Chief" as he was known) when it defeated Federal forces at Torreón, opening the way for its advance on Mexico City. Reed's time with the Villistas resulted in a series of outstanding magazine articles that brought Jack a national reputation as a war correspondent. Reed deeply sympathized with the plight of the peons and vehemently opposed American intervention, which came shortly after he left. Jack adored Villa, while Carranza left him cold. Jack's Mexican reports were later republished in book form as Insurgent Mexico, which appeared in 1914.

    you can see Pancho Villa and "Juanito" Reed (as Pancho rebaptized him).

    Born 20th October 1883 London, George Valentine Williams is recorded in the 1891 as living at 4 St Quintin Avenue, Kensington, London [the property still exists], with his parents George W [sic] [b.1840 London], Matilda A [b.1849 ? Ireland] and five sisters; Blanche F [b.1873 Paris, France], Matilda B [b.1878 London], Violet M [b.1880 London], Lynworth [sic] C [b.1882 London] and Mildred A [b.1887 London] along with his mother’s brother and three domestic servants. His father’s occupation is given as “Editor in Chief – unreadable”
    A version of his family tree on Ancestry.com gives his father’s name as George Douglas Williams and lists other siblings; Frederick S [b.1882] and Douglas [b.1892]. The name Lynworth is a transcription error, the name being Hyacinth C.
    Additional information is his marriage to Alice Crawford, the date is not given.
    He died on 20th November 1946.
