Personal Stories
Extract from Citation
“On 7th February 1968 during Operation Coburg at about 1400 hours Gunner Williams suffered a serious wound to the head but still remained at his post passing fire orders which resulted in most effective artillery fire which was a major factor in ensuring success of the assault Once the position became relatively stable a replacement for Gunner Williams was brought forward, still Gunner Williams remained on duty until he was satisfied the replacement had been fully briefed and communications were still open. Only then did Gunner Williams seek Medical Attention "
