Oswald Harcourt-Davis joined the Corps of Royal Engineers in 1916
to become a despatch rider. He was allocated a Triumph motorcycle
at Abbeville France on 18th July 1916 and was attached to the
ANZACs for the duration of the war which saw him motorcycling
around the Somme and Ypres Salient areas. He won his military medal
at Messines.
I have found that there are many people who do not have any
knowledge of the Great War. But we should remember it, as nearly a
million people died. Their names are written on memorials all over
England, as well as France and Belgium. Do not forget them and the
sacrifice they made.
