James Thomas, who is my great gran Elsie Richmond's cousin, was born in Manchester in 1886. He was the second son of Charles and Catherine Thomas. He worked as a checker at London Road goods depot in Manchester before he volunteered to join the Army. He joined the 20th Battalion Manchester regiment around 1914/1915. After his training he went to France. He was killed on 1st July 1916 and is buried at the Dantzig Cemetery near Memetz.
