James Llewellyn Davies VC (16 March 1886 – 31 July 1917) was a Welsh recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
Davies was born in March 1886 in the Ogmore Vale, Glamorgan to John and Martha Davies. He married Elizabeth Ann Darby, who was originally from Nantymoel.〔(Davies, James Llewellyn ), Commonwealth War Graves Commission〕 As a corporal in the 13th Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers, he performed a deed on 31 July 1917 at Polygon Wood, Pilkem, Belgium which won him the Victoria Cross. However, he died of wounds received during the attack.
On 20 October 1917, the King presented Corporal Davies’ Victoria Cross to his widow and his eldest son. His VC is now on display at the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum, Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfon, Wales.
He was buried in Canada Farm Cemetery (Plot II, B.18), Ieper, Belgium.
