246944 AB. James Thomson Royal Navy Howe Battalion 63rd (Royal Naval) Division from:Aberdeen, Scotland (d.10th June 1915) James Thomson was my Great Uncle. While researching family history, all that living relatives knew was that he had been killed at Gallipoli. Commonwealth War Graves Commission provided the information that we were looking for. He had joined up in 1914, from a seafaring family, but more men than ships so was remustered as a naval infantryman. It is not known if he served in Belgium in 1914, nor how he died. The Division took part in the Third Battle of Krithia but he died shortly after that, so he may have died of wounds. He is buried in Shaw Cemetery, Cape Helles, Gallipoli.
