He served as a regular soldier in the Somerset Light Infantry during the Malayan Emergency, the Suez Crisis, and the EOKA campaign in Cyprus.
William D. Dinges, Professor of Religion and Culture at The Catholic University of America, described Davies as "[i]nternationally, one of the most prolific traditionalist apologists".
[10] Davies was a critic of the alleged apparitions of the Blessed Virgin at Medjugorje, which he believed to be false.
[11] His unfinished book on the subject, Medjugorje: The First Twenty-One Years, was finally published in 2023 by Arouca Press; it includes a reminiscence from his son Adrian.
Davies died on 25 September 2004, aged 68, following a battle with cancer and was buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's, Chislehurst, Kent.
