We have not been able to positively identify this man as there are 11 T W James listed in the CWGC records and 7 in SDITGW databases. Expanded to include T James then the figures are 63 and 78 respectively. None have an obvious connection to Hitchin or Hertfordshire.
The St Albans Cathedral Diocese records also list him as T W James, suggests a connection to Hitchin records and that he served in the Middlesex Regiment.
There is perhaps another alternative, a Thomas H James has been found who is not on the Hitchin memorials or in the St Albans Cathedral Diocese records – Private 71545 or the Middlesex Regiment who died on 22/11/18. He was son of Henry and Emily James; husband of Minnie Alice James, of 209, Glebe Rd., Letchworth, Herts. but his pension records show that his wife received his pension at 27 Fairmead Road, Holloway, London, but that was updated to 3 Benslow Road, Hitchin. Perhaps the ‘W’ should read ‘H’.
Further information is needed to identify this man.
