Cpl. James Charles Diaper
British Army 24th (Home Counties) Btn. Rifle Brigade
from:London
James Diaper is one of my great grand parents. He is a person I would love to have met and had a chat with, such a character.
He enlisted on 14th of April 1915 at the age of 54 years, with the 24th (Home Counties) Battalion, Rifle Brigade and shown on one of the medal record cards is service in Mesopotamia. He was discharged on 17th of March 1917. In the photograph I have of him in uniform he is wearing a leather bandolier which leads me to believe that he may have been involved in the transport side of things.
