Summary

Phineas Philip Davies memorial in the South Australian Naval Memorial Garden, Sir Edwin Smith Drive, Adelaide. The inscription reads, "Sacred to the memory of Phineas Philip Davies, A.B. H.M.C.S. Protector. Killed by premature explosion of a cartridge when firing salute at Glenelg Commemoration Day 29th December 1885. Aged 20. Erected by his shipmates and Naval Reserve." The memorial marked the grave of Davies in Cheltenham Cemetery for 100 years prior to being claimed by the Royal Australian Navy in December 1986. It was installed as the headpiece of the South Australian Naval Memorial Garden at H.M.A.S. Encounter until the Garden was relocated in April 1995.
