William Siemens was one of the Siemens brothers that emigrated to England, he was the brother that founded r the Siemens Electrical and Cable manufacturing companies. This continued up to the Great War then was sequestrated by the British Government, it was all Electrical manufacturing the steel manufacturing was the other brothers factories in Germany. William Siemens later became a British citizen dropping his first name Carl and the spelling Wilhelm becoming Sir William Siemens having a dedicated window in Westminster Abby after his death. Avery clever individual indeed, though I am biased because I worked for the German Siemens company for fifteen years tough the company does have a lot of skeletons in the cupboard with regard to WW2.
