Pte. James Edward Wood
British Army 7th Battalion East Lancashire Regiment
from:Manchester
(d.14th Oct 1916)
My Paternal Grandfather, James Wood, I believe joined up at Preston, Lancs. I have no photo of him and only know what my Father told me about him. I was surprised to learn that he was based at Perham Down before going to France, a place I lived in a few years ago. I have visited Thiepval on the Somme several times to pay my respects, as he is named on the memorial as one of the missing.
