206371 Pte. James Henry Eustace British Army 8th Battalion Princess Charlotte of Wales Royal Berkshire Regime from:Briton Ferry, Neath, Wales (d.25th Sep 1915) James Henry Eustace died at the Battle of Loos. The family has no information as to whether he is remembered on any epitaph or monument in France. All we know is he is listed as killed in action. His father, Thomas Henry Eustis, (as the surname was spelt until he enrolled) died in 1900 when James was 5 years old. James's younger brother, Gabriel, enrolled in 1916, after James's death and survived the war. Which must have been a relief to their mother, Matilda, after having already lost her husband at the age of 28, leaving her with three children under the age of 8, with no way of supporting them and so having to give the first born child, a daughter to her in-laws to bring up. Losing both sons I think would have been unbearable Additional Information: James is remembered to on the war memorial in Briton Ferry near Neath. James was my great uncle. James is a family name. His brother, my grandfather Gabriel Eustis survived the war. I would love to find out more about both of them.
