James enlisted in Glendevon, Perthshire with the Gordon Highlanders and at some point before 1917, was transferred into the 8th (Service) Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders. He was wounded in action during the spring of 1917 and appears on the Casualty List for 23 May. Unfortunately, James’ service papers have not survived, so currently, there are no further details about his life or the rest of his military career.
