Memorial Plaque (Henry William Knowlson-Williams) very fine £200-£240

Henry William Knowlson Williams was born on 14 May 1896 and was educated at Clifton College and St John’s College, Cambridge. He joined the Inns of Court O.T.C on 6 January 1916 and was commissioned Second Lieutenant Royal Flying Corps on 28 February 1917. He was killed in an aeroplane accident whilst acting as an Observer at Rendcombe near Cirencester in Gloucestershire on 11 July 1917, and is buried in Westbury-on-Trym Churchyard near Bristol. It does not appear that he ever left England and the Memorial Plaque is his sole entitlement.
