Pte. James Ives
British Army 17th Btn. London Rifles
from:Islington, London
My grandfather James Ives was born in 1890 and joined (date unknown) the 17th London Rifles. He was captured in France and became a POW in Frieburg. He managed to survive starvation and returned to London after the war. He very rarely spoke about his experience. He lost his brother Fred John Ives, who is buried in France. The family originated in north Norfolk.
