219111 Cpt. Charles Henry Smith 14th Battalion Durham Light Infantry from:Whickham Charles Henry Smith was the cousin of my father, Harry Forster Davison (RFC/RAF in WW1, with 43 Squadron and 4 Sqdn A.F.C. in France) he was from South Africa. His father had emigrated to SA from Newcastle and his family farmed at Byreside, Medomsley. In WW1 he took his two leave periods (early and late in 1918) with Dr Andrew Smith (Snr) of Whickham and his cousins (they were the 8 children of Dr Smith, three of whom were also doctors). Another connection he had at the time was with the family at Fotherley farm near Riding Mill. Any information on the Smith family would be appreciated, and also on the names of the family at Fotherley in 1918. I have many photos taken during his war service, but hope to find some pictures and information on his family that he visited in Durham and Northumberland. I hope to publish some of these together with his War Diaries, this year.
