David Lionel Williams (SN 1238) was born at Broken Hill and enlisted at Liverpool in N.S.W, although he attended the Mt. Pleasant State School and his mother Elizabeth was resident in Humffray Street South in Ballarat. He was a 27 year old engine driver when he enlisted on October 30th 1914. He sailed with the first AIF contingent and, after time in Egypt, as a member of the 13th Battalion he took part in the Gallipoli landing on April 25th 1915. Just three days later on April 28th he was killed in action and is buried at Beach Cemetery at the south end of Anzac Cove. His headstone carries the epitaph "THE DEARLY LOVED SON OF MR & MRS H WILLIAMS OF BALLARAT". Unfortunately notification of his death was initially sent to Humffray Street Bathurst instead of Ballarat. He is remembered on the grave of his parents Henry and Elizabeth in Ballarat’s New Cemetery.
