Hi Beardie

I have an entry for a Lieu H James V.C. reported 5th May 1917, is this the same man?

Croix De Guerre

Lieu H. James V.C.
Lieu James who was the first Worcestershire V.C. gained this award in Gallipoli in September 1915

If it is he also has the Croix De Guerre.

Regards Allan

No doubt Lord Ashcroft will put in a bid.
His son Maj A.H. JAMES also served in the Worcesters.
