ERA 5cl Alfred Roderick "Taffy" Davies . Royal Navy Engine Room HMS Cormorant from Llanelli
|
Sgt. Alfred Davies . Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 57 Sduadron from Newcastle upon Tyne (d.24th July 1942) Alf Davies was the son of my great aunt Mary and her husband Alf. They lived in Whitley Bay in the 1950s. I was then too young to realize that the black and white picture of a man in RAF uniform was their son Alf who had died during the war. The picture of Alf in RAF uniform was always around in all my aunties` living rooms. He was much thought of by the family.
He was in Wellingtons out of RAF Feltwell, Norfolk during WW2, until his death in July 1942. He is buried in West Terschelling General Cemetery in Holland.

Gnr. Bert Davies MM.. British Army 138th City of London Field Regiment Royal Artillery from Anglesey My late father, Bert Davies, enlisted in March 1942 at the age of 32 and after training in Auchterarder he went to North Africa, Sicily and Italy as part of the 78th Battleaxe Division. He was awarded the Military Medal in San Salvo, Italy in November 1943 but following an accident before Cassino in March 1944 he spent 6 months or so in an American hospital (we don't know which one) before being discharged in April 1945 because of his injuries. Like many others, my father spoke nothing or little regarding the war and he died in 1980 and I then realised I should have asked him more.I have built up quite a lot of information since then but as he only spent a relatively short time in the R.A. and with the passage of time I have been unable to find anyone who knew him. If anyone has any sort of information then it would be appreciated.
