Pte. James Ormiston

British Army 2nd Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers

from:Carville Road, Wallsend on Tyne

I'm researching my family history and found that a distant cousin, James Ormiston served in the 2nd Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers. It looks like he had a couple of spells with the Regiment and was in India in 1888-1891, Number 907,and then in South Africa in 1899-1903, number 3272. Before rejoining in 1914, he was a reservist from 1903 until 1910. He served in France 1914 to 1915 and was in Leeds for the remainder of 1915 and 1916 where he was discharged due to Frost Bite. He became Chelsea Pension Number 314G3/G. He died in 1947 aged 77.
