(d.1st Jul 1916)

James Burns, my grandmother's brother ran away from home in Glasgow and joined the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers whilst under age. When his parents found what he had done they informed the army to get him discharged but then discovered that James had already been posted to France. James was killed on the opening day of the Battle of the Somme aged 16.
