Pte. James Harold Parish

British Army 11th Btn Royal West Kent Regiment

from:Swavesey, Cambridgeshire

(d.1st Aug 1917)

James Parish was my Great Uncle and the second eldest of a family of 12 children. He joined the Queens Own (Royal West Kent Regiment) in Bury St Edmunds in probably 1916. He was killed in action on 1 August, 1917 and buried at Bedford House Cemetery. He was in his 30s when he was killed and was single. I am trying to research his war service and to find a picture of him. He was a miller by trade, although his family were mainly farmers.

Swavesey is a small village eight miles from Cambridge on the busy A14. It paid a heavy price in the Great War, losing many young men. Any information regarding James's service would be very welcome
