THE BROTHERS WILLIAMS. 

The casualty list published to-day includes the names of two well-known and highly respected Dunedin lads, one of whom, Private Albert Edwin Brown Williams, was killed on August 25, while in action in France; while his brother, Gunner Frederick Walter Brown Williams, died of sickness on September 4. The two lads were sons of Mr and Mrs J. A. Williams, of 59 Harbour Terrace. Albert, who was married, and 33 years of age, left New Zealand with the 29th Reinforcements. “Freddy,” as he was more popularly known amongst his comrades, was a very prominent rugby player in this City, playing five-eighth for the Alhambra Club. He represented Otago on 15 occasions in the seasons 1910 to 1913. He was looked upon as a very heady little player, but was unfortunate in being knocked out on many occasions. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended to the parents in their bereavement.  -Evening Star, 18/9/1918.
