He was a nephew of Mr. C.A. Davies^{2,
6a, 6b}, of The Knoll, Uttoxeter². He was born in Uttoxeter, but his family immigrated to Canada in about 1907 when he was ten years old²^{,
6a, 6b}. His family took up farming in Canada when they emigrated^6a.

His CWGC record lists his nationality as Canadian³, but says that he was a native of Uttoxeter³.

He was serving in one of the Canadian regiments² and spent his last leave at Uttoxeter before going to the front^{6a,
6b}. In November 1916 he visited his uncle in Uttoxeter^6a. This means that he only saw a few weeks' service before being killed^6b.

The Uttoxeter Advertiser Roll of Honour says that he died in ‘France’, which could mean Belgium or France.
