Sgt. Alec Edwin Davies
British Army 6th Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Worcester
My father Alec Davies was an apprentice engineer at Heenan and Frouds in Worcester and served in the Home Guard as a young man. He was called up into the Highland Light Infantry, and after training in Scotland went into battle in October 1944. He landed in Zeebrugge on the first-steel hulled boat to enter after the port was cleared of mines. He then fought during 1944 and 1945, participating in the capture of Bremen.
After the war he returned to Worcester and worked at Heenan's for 43 years until his retirement. In his later years, he was voted 'Midlands Unsung Sporting Hero for 2015' in recognition of his work supporting his local cycling team 'Worcester Saint Johns'.
