Pte. James Worrall 282 Brigade, A Bty. Royal Field Artillery (d.23rd Oct 1918)

Gunner James Worrall,66959, of the Royal Field Artillery died on the 23rd of October 1918, and is buried at St Aubert British Cemetery, Nord France. This man was my Grandfather,he first came to my attention around 1999 when I was talking to my old Aunty before she died. Nobody in my family had ever spoken of him as I can ever remember, not even my mother! I was quite upset at the time so I started trying to find out about him. My Aunty gave me two old photos, one of him and one of his grave.

In 2001 my son and I went to France and found the cemetery where he is buried. Since then I have been there every year to visit. What hurt the most was the words,"Their name liveth for evermore" to me it did not apply in his case as I could not find his name on any cenotaph in this country. So, after a lot of letter writing, phone calls, and red tape, I got his name put on the Littleborough Cenotaph in 2005. Hopefully, now, his name will live on in his homeland.

He was in the "A" Bty. 282 Bde,of the Royal Field Artillery, and was married with four children when he died. All I have been able to find out about him is he was awarded three medals. Where they went I do not know.

Is there anybody out there who can point me in the right direction to finding out more about him, sevice records, etc., as sometimes trying to find anything out is like banging your head against a brick wall. It's so complicated.
