Work in Progress
[edit]Col. Williams notability has been challenged. There is additional supportive material that will be added promptly. Please do not delete at this time. Maineshepp (talk) 12:22, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
- I'm stepping back at this stage. I think the combination of awards makes him lineball and I'm not going to press the notability issue at this stage. Good luck with it. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 08:20, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you very much. We do appreciate your concern with maintaining quality articles. We will continue to seek further documentation and details and hope others can help us improve this article. Maineshepp (talk) 23:01, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Looking for references
[edit]How can we document the military ranks and promotions for Gerald Evan Williams?
What about military awards from US, England, and France?

- His British DFC would not be recorded in the archive of the London Gazette. I checked it as well to be sure. GraemeLeggett (talk) 13:27, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. Maineshepp (talk) 15:07, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I suggest you try militarytimes.com for awards. PIAM54 (talk) 22:12, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I think we're getting there. Official Army Register, 1946 has a lot of detail. Maineshepp (talk) 13:40, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Can someone help "decode" the following bio entry from Official Army Register
- "A. M. (12 O.L.C.)"
received it 12 times--but what? Air Mechanic? Maineshepp (talk) 14:14, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the correct ID. The abbreviation page from Official Army Register seemed a little confusing. Maineshepp (talk) 16:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
