Pte. Jack Ainger Davey
British Army Essex Regiment
from:172 Forest Road, Loughton, Essex
Jack Davey was my next door neighbour. He was born in 1880 and joined the Essex Regiment Volunteers. He volunteered for service in the Boer War and fought with the CIV, and stayed for further service in South Africa with the Bechuanaland Police before returning home. He was mobilized in 1914, went to Egypt in 1915, and later transferred to the Royal Field Artillery so did not go to Gallipoli with the Essex Regiment. He was demobilized at the end of 1919 and lived to a ripe old age, eventually dying in the early 1970s.
