George James's Story.
Born Willaston, enlisted Crewe. Son of William and Mary Stead of London Road, Stapeley. Pupil of Broad Lane School, Stapeley and went to France on December 18, 1914. His older brother William died of wounds in March 1915. It is highly likely that George enlisted (underage) at the same time as his brother, owing to the fact that they served in the same Regiment and have similar service numbers.
