Thank you very much for the lead!! It is a little bit humerous that I got it from so far away. You must have sensed that I have ancestory from your side of the "Pond"! Mom was from just outside of London and her father was WELSH. Hence the middle name Davies.
When he served in WWI he enlisted as Davis to 'Americanize' his name to get better treated if captured. I HAVE his identity badge. The family still has a bunch of letters that Mom and he sent to each other during those times.

Regards, Jack
