He was in the ASC
(T/21423) before joining the West Yorkshire Regt. He was a Territorial so I
assume was in the ASC then. The 1st/7th Battalion WYR has
the same history after 1916 as the 1st/5th Battalion.
Son of Hugh Ross, of
Christow, Sidmouth Junction, Devon. He was a Rifleman in the 1st/7th Bn. West
Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Own). Died on the 9th October 1917 age 28 and his name appears on the Tyne Cote memorial
Zonnebeke, Belgium. James was declared 'missing presumed dead'. His father Hugh
said he would never move again in case 'Jim' came home.
