Australia / DAVIS Family They were the largest family to set sail for Australia at the time

Hi, I am trying to trace the Davis family, who emigrated to Austalia in the late 40s early fifties.  The family was heade by my uncle Bernard John Davis knowas Jack in the family. He was born in 1893 in West Ham. His wife was Gwendoline (Gwen) nee. Basham
They were the largest family to set sail for Australia at the time and made the national press.  There was a photo of them all lined up on the deck of the ship but what paper, what ship?  I  think they may have been living near or in Brighton at the time.
I would dearly like to know what became of them. Thanks to everyone. Sara.

Hi, thank you so much for the information, it has been really wonderful having all this help. I enclose the record from the National Archives, I have just downloaded. I wondered if any one can decipher it for me? Thanks to everyone, Sara.

Hi David, thank you very much for your answer. What are good conduct stripes? I think he was serving during the 1st World War, does this look to be the case?  Best wishes, Sara.
