Pte. Joseph Davenport
British Army 22nd Battalion Manchester Regiment

According to Joseph Davenport's Medal Rolls Index Card and other documents, he enlisted on July 19, 1915 into the 22nd Battalion, Manchester Regiment
He entered the French theatre on 11th of November 1915 and thereby qualified for the 1914-15 Star. At some point during his service, he was transferred to the Labour Corps. Per the Manchester Regiment's Medal Roll for the 1914-15 Star, Private Davenport was discharged on 13th of November 1917. This date is corroborated by a Roll of Individuals Entitled to the War Badge, although his first name is listed as James, he is correctly identified by his Labour Corps service number, 32051. The number of his Silver War Badge is listed as 306479. In addition to the 1914-15 Star and the Silver War Badge, he was awarded the British War Medal and Victory Medal. Searches for either his Service Record or Pension Record via ancestry.com resources were unsuccessful, it is possible that these records were among those destroyed during the Second World War.
