Frederick Octavius Davies Maltese Cross

Army Durham Light Infantry

from:Gateshead

I am trying to establish where my father served during world war II. Myself and an older sister are attempting to write a record of his service for future generations to read. We have no idea of his service number, but we know he was captured twice during 39-45 and escaped twice, once on his birthday 14th April. We have some picture of some of his mates with a white polar bear emblem on their uniform. He was born 14th April 1919 and died 8th April 1990 just short of his 80th birthday. He was one of 10 children and I am one of six children. He very rarely spoke of his experiences during that time. If anyone knew him or any relative has heard their father speak of 'Fred', we (my sisiter and I) would be most grateful for any information. Jacqui Wimbush nee Davies
