Isaac Davis was one of five pensioners who were sent to Roebuck Bay to find and bring to justice the killers of Messrs Harding, Panter and Goldwyer. In 1865 they were returning to Fremantle on the Emma when it was lost with all hands in 1867. One of a group of men from the Enrolled Pensioner Force who perished on board “Emma” last heard of 3rd March 1867 on departure Port Walcott Western Australia This man not named in Newspaper Articles although WO23/29 states this man was “Lost on Emma”. |
