In Memory Of for Charles J. Williamson, Honored by Sandersville Old City Cemetery

Charles J. Williamson - Corporal - 72nd PW Escort Co. - Army Service Corp - World War -1 - August 23, 1893 - January 19, 1941 - Sandersville Old City Cemetery, Sandersville, GA - The men of the Army Service Corps (ASC), affectionately known as “Ally Sloper’s Cavalry”, were the unsung heroes of the war. The ASC, using horse-drawn and motor-powered vehicles, railways and waterways, provided the transport of the vast amounts of food, clothing, weapons, ammunition, and other equipment, required by the Army at the battlefront, much of it coming from the United Kingdom. At the peak of its strength the ASC had over 10,000 officers and over 315,000 men, and many thousands of non-British labourers, carriers and store men.
