In St. Swithun's, Retford Parish Church, Nottinghamshire. There were two problems I had in taking photos of the window and the tablet - where they are looks to have been converted to a Sunday School/children's area, and it was locked, so that I had to take my photos from outside through a small pane of glass.

THE LATE LIEUT. WILLIAMS OF THE SHERWOOD RANGERS . - Lieut. Williams, killed in action with the Sherwood Rangers Company of the Imperial Yeomanry, was the son of Mr. Ashley G. Williams, for a number of years agent for the Duke of Newcastle. He was educated at Marlborough, and was 26 years of age. The young lieutenant was born at Sparken Hill, Worksop, and left with his parents when they went to reside at Portsea. Lieut. Williams was recently living at Newark, as a pupil with Messrs. Hole, and joined the Newark troop of the Sherwood Rangers as a private when the company for active service with the Imperial Yeomanry was formed. Colonel Viscount Galway gave Mr. Williams a commission, and from the moment he joined he was a great favourite with the yeomanry. He was an officer of good presence and fine physique, standing six feet in height.

DEATH OF A VOLUNTEER . - The death in South Africa, from enteric fever, of lance-corporal Webb, of the Imperial Yeomanry, has caused a good deal of sympathy with his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Webb, of Melton Ross.

Viscountess Galway, whose husband is colonel of the force, yesterday distributed, at Retford, war medals earned by the second active service contingent of the Sherwood Rangers (Imperial Yeomanry). At a dinner, at which over 80 returned Yeomen were subsequently entertained, Lord Galway suggested that a window should be placed in East Retford Church as a memorial of the members of the corps who died in South Africa.
