============================================================

Came across his uncle? in the Service Records, William Davies, same address, Number 736. Seems also to have an address in the Isle of Man, 3 Market Street, Peel. Also has the number 20834. Gives his sister's name as Millie Lowe of 21 Sydney Place, Edge Hill, Liverpool.

I think that the correct W. Davies is Walter Henry Davies.

DAVIES-In loving memory of Corpl. W. H. Davies, who died of wounds, August 19th 1916.
When last we saw his smiling face,
He seemed so strong and brave;
We little thought how soon he'd be laid in a hero's grave.
His sorrowing Mother, Father and Sisters-21, Sydney Place.

For love is a chain that binds forever.
