IMPORTANT: THE CWGC RECORD LANCE CORPORAL THOMAS WILLIAMSON’S DATED OF DEATH AS 21ST MAY 1918. THIS IS ALMOST CERTAINLY INCORRECT BECAUSE THE TYRONE COURIER OF 2 MAY 1918 RECORDS HIS DEATH. IT GIVES DATE OF DEATH AS EXACTLY ONE MONTH EARLIER AS 21 APRIL 1918. AS SUCH, THE RECORDS ON THIS WEBSITE REFLECT THIS. |
