Hi CPJenks
Welsh Newspapers Online has a couple of articles that talk about Davine being in a number of shows (singing and dancing) such as Prince Napoo at the Theatre Royal, Barry that seem to be linked to the 4th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers.
http://newspapers.library.wales/view/4129029/4129035/38/
This and another article talk about one of the other performers being Capt G Ravenscroft, of the Lancashire Fusiliers. The date however is 1918 not 1921 and unfortunately the newspaper site doesn't go past 1919.
I checked the medal card index and Capt G Ravenscroft's first name was Gordon - a possibility??
Mar

All the newspaper reports I find only have Capt Ravenscroft, there is no initial. All are in 1918.

Both Capt G Ravencroft and Capt Blencowe / Blencome  are named here, so probably same as in the newspapers.

The writing looks to me as

F W Brown &. Son
Weston G? Maxon

Possibly there is a Gordon Maxon on census born c 1891 located in Cheshire 1901/1911

Don't know how it can be proven though

EDIT Maybe scrub that looks like he married an Alice Dec Q 1911

Gordon Rawson Maxon b 1890 Bangor, dies 1941 Cheshire

Still with Alice 1939, Crewe, Cheshire

Looks unlikely it's her Gordon.
