John Bartholomew Davies No.3 Commando. [view archive entry.....].

Mike Davies adds on behalf of all the family, "It is with great sadness we report the death of John Bartholomew Davies who passed away 4th April 2013. A cockney, who after over 50 years living up north still never lost his southern accent or his early memories. A volunteer with No.3 Commando he stormed the Normandy beaches on D-Day at Sword Beach and was proud of his Commando association. John Davies will always be remembered by a very loving family and friends, regarded as one of life’s true gentlemen he was a person much admired by all.
His ever- loving family."]]> en-us Gallery 2 RSS Module, version 1.1.8 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 21:04:26 +0100 120 https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/d/33224-8/davies.jpg https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/3/davies/ https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/3/davies/Dad+in+uniform+150+ppi+copy.jpg.html https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/3/davies/Dad+in+uniform+150+ppi+copy.jpg.html
