Captain H N Williams served in the 4th Battalion attached to the 1/4 London Regiment, 56th Division during the 1914-1918 war.  He was awarded the Military Cross, WWI medal and Victory medal with attached oak leaf denoting that he was mentioned in despatches.  He survived the war and became the accountant for Ellerman Shipping Lines in Liverpool. His son was born on 4th January 1923 and joined the RAF in 1941.  He qualified for Air Crew as a wireless operator and Air Gunner, he was commissioned in 1943.  During the war he flew over 400 hours in a variety of aircraft including Wellingtons, Warwick, Sunderlands and Liberators.  He stayed in the RAF after the war, was promoted to Group Captain in 1974 and retired in 1978. During his long career he totalled 1043 hours in 23 different types of aircraft, he took part in the first Battle of Britain Fly-Past in 1949, over London, in a Lancaster. Half of his career was served overseas in India, Burma, Java, Pakistan and he did 4 assignments in USA. He was also a crack shot and won in excess of 50 trophies for rifle, pistol and submachine gun competitions. The family never threw anything away, so it is fortunate that we were able to discover all the medals, very many photographs, a large quantity of ephemera, the flying log book, flying boots, jacket and many other items relating to both men. Group Captain Williams's wife served with the SOE - we are still researching her service record but there will also be items relating to her in this sale.
