John Charles Reginald Williams died on 14 April 1940, while serving aboard the destroyer H.M.S. Kimberley - most probably as a result of wounds received in the fierce engagement at Narvik the previous day. He left a widow, Amy, a resident of Torquay, Devon, has no known grave, and is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.
