Davies was born in Melbourne to Ann Elmira (née Davis) and John Morris Davies. He moved to Western Australia as a small child, and after leaving school began working for Western Australian Government Railways. Davies enlisted in the Australian Army in August 1917, and served in France with the 16th Battalion. He was discharged in September 1919, and subsequently returned to the railways. Davies became president of the Fremantle branch of the Locomotive Drivers, Firemen and Cleaners' Union, and in 1928 was elected to the Fremantle City Council, where he would serve for the rest of his life (including as deputy mayor for a period). He entered parliament at a 1947 Legislative Council by-election, caused by the resignation of William Kitson. Davies was re-elected in 1950, 1956, and 1962, but died in office in April 1963. He had married Gertrude May Potter in 1915, with whom he had two children.[1] See also
