2/Lt William Bryan Davies died in a casualty clearing station (37 CCS) and is buried in AVESNES-LE-COMTE Communal Cemetery Extension.

He was aged 35 and had only been with the Battalion for two months since arriving in France on 12th July 1916. The London Gazette 19th February 1916 records his Commission into the Sherwood Foresters and the Nominal Roll of 6th Battalion Officers records ‘suicide’, but no further details are provided.

He was the Son of Thomas and Mary Davies of Welshpool in Montgomeryshire. His father Thomas was a Bank Manager in Welshpool. He does not have a medal index card (MIC) suggesting that his medals were not claimed by his next of kin after the War.
