Help with this soldier

[rayel]

Can anyone please find more info on this soldier Davies A Private 2nd Lancashire Fusiliers. Mobalised as a reservist at the outbreak of hostilities he was sent to France with the first expeditionary Force, and fought atI the retreat from Mons, and afterwards in many of the important battles of the campaign. He served all through the retreat and advance of 1918, and returning to England soon after the Arrmistice was demobilised in February 1919. He holds the Mons star and thegeneral service and victory medals,
9 Nuttall street Pendleton . Thank you

Have you got his marriage certificate?

[rayel]

Not got anything I want to know if its my uncle Abraham

[MaxD]

Was your uncle Abraham associated with Dudley Worcestershire?

Further - I find no records for an A Davies of the Lancashire Fusiliers whose service fits the description you have given.  How confident are you that the man you describe actually has that service record?  Do you have his service number?

[ShaunJ]

I guess the description is lifted from the "National Roll of the Great War".

There's is a possible match: 517 A Davies, awarded the 1914 Star, disembarked  22 August 1914. But the medal roll is amended in manuscript to give his rank as Lance Corporal rather than Private.

EDIT I don't see a MIC for him on Ancestry. There is one at TNA http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D6150723

I've now found the MIC for 517 Albert Davies on Ancestry.

Also a Military Medal award. He was 2nd Battalion.

You may need to track down the Absent Voter's list. Davies is a very common name.
There are a few MIC's for an Abraham Davies.
Because he lived in Lancs. doesn't neccessarily mean he served in a Lancs. Regt.

On a previous thread you attached a photo of a dogtag which appeared to be Royal Warwickshire Regiment 27709.   That would be consistent with the 13th Brigade item also attached.

Have to say it looks like G Davies to me.
Maybe the photo & dog tag don't go together.
