219316 Pte. John Edward Davies British Army King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (d.May 1918) Pte. John Edward Davies was my uncle who served with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. He was last seen by his sister Dorothy entering the subway at Ripon Station on his way to France, where he died of his wounds in May 1918 at the age of 19. He is buried at Bagneux Cemetry near Gezaincourt, France His sister moved to Ripon in 1948 and lived quite near the Station and used to regularly catch a bus to town from next to the subway which is still quite a poignant reminder of great sadness and of ultimate sacrifice for so many brave men who travelled through the subway onto the trains and who never came back from France We shall never forget them and our families will always remember my Uncle John with great pride.
