Sapr. James Delaney

British Army Artisan Work Company Royal Engineers

from:Salford, Lancashire

(d.4th March 1942)

James Delaney was buried in Scotland. He was my grandmother's brother who had 11 siblings. He has a surviving son born 1934. His elder brother died 1983. All I know is that his mother lost her eldest son in WW1 and her youngest son in WW2. His son has always wondered as to why he died in Scotland as he was in the Army, yet his brother always insisted he was connected to the Arctic Convoy.

His wife and family had not the ability to travel so far from home in Salford. Gladys never had the opportunity to visit his grave.
