No.  A UL can contain only LI elements directly, but you have it
containing another UL.  You need to put the inner UL within an LI:

<ul>
        <li>
                <b>Heading 1</b><br>
                Description
                <ul>
                        <li><b>SubHeading 1</b>
                                <ul>
                                        <li>
                                                <a href="link">Link
1</a><br>
                                                Link Info<br>
                                                Link Description<br>
                                        </li>
                                </ul>
                        </li>
                </ul>
        </li>
</ul>
