Bdr. Frank Davison

British Army 332 Seige Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

from:Faversham, Kent

(d.28th Sep 1917)

My great uncle was Bdr 317454 Frank Davison from Faversham, Kent. He served with the Home Counties (Kent) Heavy Battery before joining 332 Seige Battery RGA with whom he died of wounds on 26/09/1917. He is buried in Dozinghem Military Cemetery near Poperinghe.Also buried very close is Corporal 125696 Fred Hudd of the same Battery. He died of wounds on 28/09/1917. In Brandhoek Military Cemetery is Gunner 168213 Duncan LANG of the same battery. He died of wounds on 30/09/1917. Did these men die through wounds sustained at the same time? My great uncle served with the unit of the Battery that was based in Preston Street, Faversham. Any information of the Home Counties (Kent) Heavy Battery or 332 Siege battery would be gratefully received.

Can you help us to add to our records?

The names and stories on this website have been submitted by their relatives and friends. If your relations are not listed please add their names so that others can read about them


Did your relative live through the Great War? Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial?

If so please let us know.

Do you know the location of a Great War "Roll of Honour?"

We are very keen to track down these often forgotten documents and obtain photographs and transcriptions of the names recorded so that they will be available for all to remember.

Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice.




Celebrate your own Family History

Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Great War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.
