Joseph Conway Davis

British Army Lancashire Fusiliers

from:Greengate, Salford, Lancs.

My Dad Joseph Davis always referred to the 8th Army but that puzzles me when I try and trace him. I do not know his service number or how to find it with the limited details I have. He used to say that he swapped his clarinet for a rifle as he used play in a dance band before he joined up. He served on the 'front line' at Dunkirk and woke up one morning with shrapnel on his pillow.

I have all his medals and they are: Territorial George VI for efficient service, 1939-1945 Star, Africa Star, Italy Star, 1939-1945 Defence Medal and another 1939-1945 medal embossed with a lion. I just wish I could find out his regiment/service no. Can anyone advise please?
