Adult Life
Davies attended Eton College, where he excelled at sports (especially cricket) and was elected to the elite social club Pop while still an underclassman. He later attended Trinity College, Cambridge where he joined the Amateur Dramatic Club, following in the footsteps of both his uncle, actor Gerald du Maurier and his dramatist guardian.
Following the UK's entry into World War I, Davies and his brother Peter volunteered for service. He received a commission as a second lieutenant in the King's Royal Rifle Corps, and served in the trenches in Flanders. He died of a gunshot to the head at the age of 21. As yet unmarried, the young George Llewelyn Davies left no children.
