Pte. Daniel James Davies
British Army Kings Liverpool Regiment
from:Senghenydd
Daniel Davies, known as Jimmy was my grandfather. He died before I was born and my mother (his daughter) never spoke of his involvement in WW1. My grandfather was old when he was enlisted, aged 35yrs 6 mths. He enlisted in Cardiff in Dec 1916 and was sent to France in Mar 1917. He was sent back to England due to trench fever in June 1918. He spent time in the Australian CCS, Truro Hospital, Epsom War Hospital and War Hospital at Le Tripol. In total he spent 3 months in hospital. One quite sad event on his war record is that he was docked a days pay for stealing comrades rations and consuming them. Food must have been scarce.
