Success !!!!!!
I have found more information about my great grandfather James John Davis. I found his WW1 Service Records (well whats left of them). He was in the Royal Engineers (B battalion) He join the RE in 1918 however before this he was in the RHA, I believe this to be the Royal Horse Artilliay. I know little else about this as his reg number is unreadible.

Im currently looking for a James John Davis born C1876 in Wandsworth his father was also named James John Davis. James (jnr) married Elizabeth Lily Taylor in 1903 Wandsworth. They had Frederick William Davis B 1913 who was my grandfather.
