'I have searched Forces and several other sites. And may have come to the conclusion he was in the Medical Corp (RAMC). 16 Oct 1915 Card I have found on Ancestry is #27020 (2 of them) but I do not have proof this is him.'

Just a couple of comments:-

The photograph of William Howard James shows him with his bayonet fixed to his rifle. RAMC only used their weapons in self defence and never fixed their bayonets to their rifles.

The cap badge of the RAMC is crown above a laurel wreath containing a serpent entwined upon a staff, which is different to the cap badge in the photograph.

The probate record for William Howard James 1889-1944 is available on Ancestry.
