William Oxenham

Biography

William Oxenham answered the call to military service with steady resolve, embracing the rigors of duty wherever he was posted and earning the trust of officers and fellow soldiers alike. His years in uniform were marked by faithful attention to the needs of others and an unfailing sense of responsibility for the men under his charge.
