Wow you lot are amazing and just goes to show how many people are connected to this site. Wonderful stuff.

I have not read all your comments yet as just found them.

The badge I have blown up (well the photo) and it is the Gloucester Regiment with the sqhinx. Did the Medical Corp wear different badges?

I will definitely keep a lookout in those other databases.

As far as I know the only James's from my family who settled in NZ were Isaac Angelo James b1874 and family from Parkend, who was the manager of a mine in Westport, but died in Christchurch, South Island in 1950.Unfortunately he only had 3 daughters so doubt if the James name continued.

Once again thank you so much for your information.

Best wishes
