Add my storyBiography contributed by Faithe Jones
Son of Francis Lilian DAVIS of 36 Horne Street, Elsternwick, Vic.
Stanley enlisted in the Engineers Corps, but unfortunately died from an attack of pneumonia just before his transport reached England. A weak knee, which had troubled hiim at school, had hindered his joining up as soon as he wished, but he managed to overcome the medical difficulty in the conscription 'scare' and was passed as fit. He was a member of both first eleven and first eighteen. He was a wonderfully clever footballer and first-class cricketer. He played in the Champion team of 1911 at Haileybury College.
