Title: Photo taken by father of James Marks his son

Description: This photo is very heart breaking even if it is out of focus. Mr. James Marks was able to go and see his sons grave marker in 1919 after he was killed in action. James Ganly Marks was just 22 years old when he was killed in the war. Such a great loss of life this war had on many people.
