Personal Data
Norman was born in Dudley Port in 1870, son of Charles Davies, a Grocer of 1 Horseley Heath, and Maria Ann. It appears both Norman's parents died in the 1890's, and in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses, Norman was boarding in Birmingham.
Action resulting in his death
It seems that Norman Davies, although he joined the Army Service Corps, did not serve abroad. This would explain the absence of a Medal Index Card, as medals were only awarded to those serving overseas. He died in England, and is buried in Brockwood Military Cemetery, Surrey.
