William Alfred, S.A.S.C. was made a Member of the Military Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire on Tuesday 3rd June 1919 as Published in the Tenth Supplement to The London Gazette of Friday 30th May 1919" The reason for the name changes in his life are interesting, During the Boer War the name Wilhelm seemed to be to "Dutch" for the English, so this was changed to the more anglicized William, later on the Mauseth was changed to Manseth which was much more English. This was used as a family name until his death, so he died as William Alfred Manseth. He died of cancer (en)
