description: John Vaughan Davies - a soldier of the Great War


John Vaughan Davies was born at 17, Glynllifon Street, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Meirionethshire, North Wales, on 20.5.1896. He was the third son, one of nine children of Morris Vaughan Davies, a slate quarry worker, and Eliza Davies.

John  started work in the slate mines in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Meirionethshire, North Wales, at the age of 14 years, and became interested in First Aid. He joined the  local  branch of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and became the quarry's first aid representative. 

consequently, at the outbreak of the first World War he volunteered early into the British Army and served with the Royal Army Medical Corps in the U.K., Ireland,  and from 1916 to 1919 at a base hospital in Basra, Mesopotamia (Present day Iraq). 

He was unfortunate enough to be in Mesopotamia when the British Government decided to send armed forces to India to deal with an armed rebellion in the North West Frontier and Afghanistan in 1919. He was then posted  to that area where he continued to serve in various military medical posts in the Peshawar and Khyber Pass areas. He was not demobilized until 1920.

On demobilization he resumed work  at the Graig Ddu Slate Quarry, Blaenau Ffestiniog, until its closure in 1940. He was then employed as a railway shunter by the Great Western Railway company at their station at Blaenau Ffestiniog and remained there, retiring upon its closure.

He died on 11.7.1973

title: Items related to Arthur Wright, HMS Natal (1)

description: I am submitting photos of some items passed down to me by my Grandmother many years ago. There is a photo of her brother, Arthur Wright, a sailor on HMS Natal; a postcard sent to my Grandmother from HMS Natal, dated 20/6/1915; an HMS Natal brooch and a Christmas greeting sent from HMS Natal, dated Christmas 1915.

On 30th December 1915 HMS Natal was lying in the Cromarty Firth. Just after 3.20pm violent explosions ripped through the ship. Within 5 minutes she capsized. No one ever established the exact number of fatalities, the figure ranges from 390 to 420. Mystery surrounds the loss of the HMS Natal. A mine laying U-boat was suspected but it was soon established that the damage came from an internal explosion. Officially the cause of the explosion was given as faulty cordite igniting a magazine, sabotage by German agents was suspected but never proved.

My Great Uncle Arthur was one of the unfortunate crewmen who lost his life. The Christmas greeting is very touching because this was the last contact between Arthur and my Grandmother - days later he was killed.
