L/Cpl. James Thomas Harbridge MM. 183rd Coy. Machine Gun Corps (d.3rd Dec 1917)

James Harbridge was born in Great Barrow, Cheshire, 1894, and died in 1917, aged 23. His military enlistment records were destroyed and the only surviving records found to date are his Military Medal award roll and record card, his soldier military effects record and the Commonwealth War Graves records. The information on these records vary in so much as some show he was a private and on others a lance corporal.

He was killed missing in action, serving with 183rd Machine Gun Corps in December 1917. His death is recorded on the Cambrai Memorial, Louveral, and the Great Barrow, Village War Memorial.

James was not married and the census records do not tell us what his occupation was prior to his enlistment. His parents and grandparents worked in the farming industry and perhaps James followed in their footsteps.
