Thank you, it's looking as though he is the 2nd one, as he was 17 when he died.

Hi I was wondering if anybody can help me to find out any information for my friend. For many years she has been wondering about her Grandmothers brother who died in France during ww1. Would it be possible to get any info. on his old army records & any other info . He was called James Williams he came from Lancaster Street,Netherfield Road, Liverpool 5. She thinks his mother was called Josephine. Any info. would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. :-)
