Sgt. James Davis
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Scots
from:Walsall
When my father died he left me things about his time in WW2. I also found my grandfather's things from WW1. I found a medal for service and a football medal of the 6th Corps Football Tournament. On it says "Winners Sgt J Davis 2nd Royal Scots" and it is dated 26th of January 1918. With this medal, wrapped in a cloth, was a Leonidas Swiss-made army pocket watch with the crows foot filed down. I wound the watch and, to my amazement, it started to tick and from that day it has kept excellent time. The only fault is that the glass has shrunk and worn, but the mechanism is perfect. My grandfather, James Davis survived the war and died aged 83.
