While a shepherd working on a farm in Hawke’s Bay, he increased his age by three years in order to enlist in the New Zealand Army in March 1916. By 1917, he was on the front lines in Belgium working as a runner with the 3rd Battalion New Zealand Rifle Brigade at Messines, before being severely wounded in the Battle of Passchendaele on 12 October 1917. As he and an officer tried to move forward in front of a German machine gun post at Wolf Farm, both were peppered by machine-gun bullets. The officer was killed, while Bright Williams remained out overnight in a muddy shell hole with three bullet wounds, one of which had shattered his thigh.〔T. Potter, ‘Final battle of our last WW1 soldier’, Sunday Star Times, 23 February 2003, p.C10.〕 During the Battle 845 New Zealand soldiers of the New Zealand Division were killed in action, with over 2,700 being wounded. In total for that battle, the allied forces suffered 508,800 casualties, while Germany suffered 348,300 casualties. During a 2001 interview, Williams spoke of suffering through mud and freezing rain, and sheltering in trenches among the corpses of dead German soldiers.〔 *Bright Williams - Last Man Standing (Execam Video )〕 No longer fit for service Bright Williams returned to farming in Hawke’s Bay where he continued to be troubled by his wounds. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bright Williams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
