Samuel Tankersley Williams (August 25, 1897 – April 26, 1984) was a United States Army Lieutenant General. Williams became prominent in Army history for being reduced in rank from brigadier general to colonel, and then resuscitating his career to again advance to general officer rank. He also commanded the 25th Infantry Division during the Korean War and served as commander of Military Assistance and Advisory Group – Vietnam, the predecessor to Military Assistance Command – Vietnam. ==Early life== Williams was born on August 25, 1897 in Denton, Texas. In May, 1916 he enlisted as a private in the Texas National Guard and took part in the expedition against Pancho Villa. Having claimed an 1896 date of birth in order to meet the minimum age for a commission, in August, 1917 Williams completed the officers training course at Camp Bullis, Leon Springs, Texas and received an appointment as a second lieutenant in the Officer Reserve Corps.〔(Official U.S. Army Directory ), published by U.S. Army Adjutant General, page 810, 1954〕〔(Hanging Sam: a Military Biography of General Samuel T.
