Great War Portraits

John Edward ‘Jack’ Davis 6th Battalion The Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry. His battalion was at Hooge where they saw some fierce fighting. His Division was first to be attacked by flamethrower. He took part in a trench raid where he had to lay out in ‘No Man's Land’. He said ‘holding your nerve was vital for survival’. Jack features in my book 'Great War Portraits'.
