    The CWGC shows him as 25249 Private John Henry Williams, 6th Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment, commemorated on Pier 2 Face C of the Theipval Memorial - listed amongst the missing whose bodies were never recovered from the battlefield.

    During the summer of 1916, 6th(Service) Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment received training for some weeks in offensive operations in between front line duties in the Loos area. The Battalion was moved south with 112th Brigade, 37th Division, to take part in the Battle of Ancre in November 1916, the final act in the 5 months Battle of the Somme. There the Bedfords fought in and around Beaumont-Hamel. During an attack three days into the battle that was held up by unbroken belts of German wire, Private John Henry Williams lost his life in fighting on Thursday 16th November 1916, a freezing cold day, assaulting up a muddy valley east of Beaumont-Hamel as the 6th Bedfords tried in vain to reach and assault German positions on the ridge called Munich Trench.//

    Did he survive?
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    Jazz Guy Interesting case. He never left Australia. He enlisted with his mother's consent, but when she came down with pleurisy she requested his discharge as he was her sole support. This was denied and he was later court-martialled for desertion. recordsearch.naa.gov.au/scripts/Imagine.asp?B=1811453

    Aww what a sad, cruel story - he's a 'baby' and far too young to leave his mother, especially when she's so ill - armies are cruel!! If this was my boy and they put him in jail for dissertion I'd break him out . . . if I was ill like his mother was, and they did that, I'd probably have died of a broken heart.
