  At the time of the 1911 census he was a pupil at Kingswood School, aged 17. His place of birth was given as Pietermaritzburg, Natal.
  
  His Medal Roll Index Card shows that he was Private 1562 in the Royal Highlanders before transferring to the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dion_Williams "Brigadier General Dion Williams (December 15, 1869 – December 11, 1952) was an officer in the United States Marine Corps. He was the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps from August 1, 1925 — July 1, 1928. During his early career, Williams pioneered the first conceptual study of amphibious reconnaissance in the United States and becoming one of the strongest advocates in having the Marine Corps assume the amphibious, expeditionary role. During his career, he fought guerrillas in the Philippines and Dominican Republic during the Spanish–American War."

  See: aerobaticteams.net/three-musketeers.html The "Three Musketeers" aerobatic team were the first US display team formed in late 1927. The team represented the 1st Pursuit Group from the Army Air Corps based in Montgomery, Alabama. The original members were Lt. John J. Williams leader, Lt. William L. Cornelius and Lt. Johnson. They flew Boeing PW-9 fighters. The first major event that the "Three Musketeers" participated in was the National Air Races in Sept 8-16, 1928 at Mines Field (now Los Angeles Int.). Unfortunately during that demonstration, Lt. John J. Williams crashed and then died a day or two after his crash on 10 September. He was from Moab, Utah. Charles Lindbergh replaced him as a leader for the remainder of the Air Race airshows.
