CWGC Concentration recordBurial record for the relocation of men to Cerisy Gailly in 1920s. James was concentrated from Maricourt Military Cemetery and died on 2nd July. No other 17th Bttn men are noted as being buried there after June, yet many men from the Bttn were buried in the same place as casualties in the Maricourt trench line prior to the opening of the battle. James probably died of wounds with medics from 89th Brigade - see other casualtiesContributed by:
