He was 20 and the son of John & Mary Davies, of Dulas House, Cadwgan Avenue, Old Colwyn.
He is one of two Australian casualties of the Great War remembered on the Colwyn Bay War Memorial.
Colwyn Bay (Welsh: Bae Colwyn) is a seaside town, community and holiday resort in Conwy County Borough on the north coast of Wales overlooking the Irish Sea.
Until 1974 the area was part of historic Denbighshire, and between 1974 and 1996 of the county of Clwyd.
Eight neighbouring communities are incorporated within its postal district. Established as its own separate parish in 1844 with just a small grouping of homes and farms where the community of Old Colwyn stands today, Colwyn Bay has expanded to become the second-largest community and business centre in the north of Wales as well as the 15th largest in the whole of Wales.
