Biography
George Davis was listed in the Asylum Roll of Honour published in the 17th October 1914 edition of the Hertfordshire Advertiser. This indicated that at that point he had attested.
It has not been possible to trace George’s family details, where and when he was born, and how he arrived at Abbots Langley. Many of the Asylum Attendants came from far and wide, and it was likely that George Davis had no connection with Abbots Langley until he was employed at the Asylum, sometime before the outbreak of War in August 1914.
The Abbots Langley Parish Magazine Roll of Honour recorded George Davis for the first time in November 1914, serving with the Northumberland Fusiliers. The Parish Magazine also recorded that George had married Jane Ann Stewart on 8th February 1915, suggesting that he had not been posted from the UK at that time.
The Roll of Honour recorded that George was serving with the Northumberland Fusiliers each month throughout the War.
George Davis survived the War.
