Feasible....

..seems an odd name for a boat.

Went all arty black & white as it was so gloomy yesterday....well actually it was a veritable summers day compared to today's downpour!

Pte Sam Davis KSLI

My great uncle, Samuel Davis was born into a military family in Fermoy nr Cork.

Then lived in Glasgow and Monmouth with his parents and siblings - one of which was my Gran, Gladys....who is believed to have been born in Maryhill barracks, Glasgow.

His father, my great grandfather, was a Sutherland Highlander and was known around Monmouth as "Scotty" Davis.

Sam joined up and somehow ended up in the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry and died in India in 1916.

These details are a bit sketchy as they come from memory - I really ought to research them properly.

His name is spelled Davies as this is the welsh version of Davis apparently....and this memorial was put up 9 years after his death.
