The Davies Kids Growing Up
Barrie managed to fool everyone and became their legal guardian. Although this whole situation seems bizarre and illegal, it should be noted that there is no hard evidence proving that Barrie ever physically abused any of the children. Sadly, in 1915, George Davies was killed in World War I. George was the eldest of the brothers, and after he passed, Barrie and Michael’s relationship grew closer.

But then Michael left home to attend Eton College and had a difficult time adjusting. He was antisocial and troubled but became good friends with Rupert Buxton, the son of a famed baronet. Reportedly, the two friends were inseparable, spending time together in school and on holidays.
