  • The Repatriation of the Sick and Wounded
    The Repatriation of the Sick and Wounded The Tragic Case of Private 7822 Arthur Williams ‘C’ Company, 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers It was inevitable that hospitals and medical staff at home would also have to care for the sick and injured enemy soldiers in their custody. The Prisoner of War Societies and the Red Cross worked tirelessly to bring about repatriation or exchange wherever they could, although this tended to be in cases where the men were very ill and would continue to need hospital care on their return. They were not soldiers who would be patched up and set back into action. Illness was often realised to be terminal and it was felt that where possible they should be returned to be near their family. However, there were often great delays in completing the bureaucracy before the exchange could be confirmed. If men were well enough, they were interviewed by the authorities on their return to obtain any information they could divulge about what was happening behind the lines. One such prisoner fortunate to be exchanged was Private 7822 Arthur Williams, of ‘C’ Company, 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers. Arthur was born in Wolverhampton in 1887, the son of Arthur Henry Williams and Anne Elisa Williams of Major Street (right), his father working in the adjacent chemical factory. By 1901 the family had moved to nearby 28 Johnson Street, while Arthur junior found his first employment as a cycle fitter, aged fifteen. A short time after that young Arthur had found work as a brass dresser, but looking for a life of excitement and probably better pay, Arthur enlisted for the Army at Bilston on 7 Oct 1904.
