We only became aware of James about a year ago when when searching through my late fathers ancestral file. We spent time researching James story and located his war grave. As we in Britain are  Commemorating  the Great War we decided to go to Flanders to pay our respects in person at this special and sad time. Visiting James and another relative who fell in action was far more emotional than we had imagined  it would be, an experiance never to be forgotten.
