Description
Portrait of 11272 Private Gilbert Williams who was born at Gonelie, NSW, and who enlisted in the 20th Reinforcements to the 3rd Light Horse Regiment on 3 April 1917. He was discharged at the Mitcham Camp, SA on 4 September 1917, "having been found medically unfit for further service (not due to misconduct)".
