Williams.—The funeral of the late Sister Blodwyn Williams, of the A.1.F.. whose death occurred at the Caulfield Military Hospital, took place place on Wednesday, and was largely attended by sympathising friends, and the esteem and respect, in which the deceased and her family were held were clearly evinced by the floral tributes which, were numerous. Sister Williams had served her King, country and Empire for nearly five years, during which she made many friends by her untiring efforts and devotion to duty to our soldier boys under the most trying circumstances and unpleasant conditions. Her remains were removed from her late home, “Llanberris House,” the casket being draped with the Union Jack out of respect of her military service, and interred in the family grave at the Ballarat New Cemetery.
