Edward Williams, a native of Widnes, attested for the 2nd Lancashire Volunteer Battalion Royal Engineers, and served in South Africa on attachment to the 6th Company Royal Engineers, earning 4 confirmed clasps with this unit: Cape Colony, Orange Free State, South Africa 1901, and South Africa 1902. Williams’ parent unit embarked for South Africa on 25 March 1901; it is possible that he may have earned the clasps Tugela Heights, Relief of Ladysmith, Transvaal, and Laing’s Nek with another unit before hand, but no confirmation of this has been found on the extant medal rolls, and consequently this medal is sold on the basis that he is not entitled to these four clasps.
Williams later served as a Sapper during the Great War. 588
