Thomas Hugh Davies served with the 17th Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers. He was killed on Pilckem Ridge on 27 July 1917, leaving behind a widow and eight children. He is buried in Dragoon Camp cemetery, near Ypres. His eldest son, Hugh Davies, apparently tried to enlist twice while under age, but was sent back. However, he did eventually get to join the army, but was not sent to fight overseas.
