many thanks for filling some more gaps!

As I said I am writing a small booklet to commemorate the fallen from Daventry William Parker School (the old Daventry Grammar School) So you have helped ensure the information about Douglas is as complete as possible thank you.

Best regards

Paul Dwyer

My god this internet scares the **** out of me sometimes 15 minutes after replying to your post I have a picture of him!!!! :o

Which came from the Lloyd's Bank Memorial Album for WW1 I was really pleased to find the photograph annotated D B Priestley Daventry!

SO it becomes largely academic now but I will prove out the link with his fathers position locally.

Hi Julia

just stumbled across your rootschat post about D B Priestley as I am currently writing a memorial book about WW1 & WW2 Casualties who where former pupils of William Parker School Daventry, Northamptonshire.

On the memorial scroll in the School is one "2nd Lieutenant D B Priesteley" There is no further information at the School however the Commonwealth War Graves Commission only lists one casualty here:

http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=1624970

So logic tells me this has to be him but I would love to know when he was in Daventry WPS? I guess as his DOB is given as 1898 on the 1901 census he must have been in WPS @1910. So I am currently trying to find out if his father the Rev. J Priestley was ever vicar of Holy Cross Church Daventry or some other local place of worship.

What is your interest in DBP?

Let me know if you need anymore information on him and if I turn anything up I will of course forward it on.

Regards

Paul
