资源简介：
Robert and Ann Williams lived in Llanberis, Caernarfonshire. They had three children, two boys and a girl; because of the war the boys were sent to family members, one to Liverpool and the other to Scotland. The daughter, Mary, (my grandmother), stayed with her mother in Llanberis. Mary was 5 years old when her father was killed.
Robert was shot dead whilst walking to breakfast one morning. I remember seeing the letters and more information about the event from my grandmother, but unfortunately upon her death, the paperwork went to her son. I don't know where Robert's medals went but the brass plaque also went to my uncle.
