James Trotter was born to Charles Trotter and Jemima Smith in the final quarter of 1897 in Rye, East Sussex. He was the son of a timber carrier. He enlisted in Hastings, East Sussex and served as 3081 and 290849, The Royal Sussex Regiment. He had two brothers, Robert Lionel and Charles Theadore and a half sister from the father's previous marriage, Edith Grace Voice whose mother died in 1886.

He was killed in action, I think in the Battle of Canal du Nord, (part of the battle of the Hindenburg Line). He is remembered with honour on the Vis-en-Artois Memorial, situated between Arras and Cambrai.
