Pte. James Meldrum

British Army 1/5th Btn. London Regiment

from:Glasgow

(d.15th August 1917)

James Meldrum was a Music Hall Artiste. He had traveled overseas in 1908 as an artiste to Buenos Aires, Argentina with Henry Prescot (who was also his best man at wedding in 1915) Mr B Ben Merdani, Mr B Ben Ali, Mr Mahmed Amur and W.W. Collins all artistes. James was married to Daisy Joan Worsley, they married in Glasgow and she was also a Music Hall Artiste. Presumably they moved to London before the war for him to join a London Regiment, he gave his occupation as an actor. Sadly no I have photos. Commonwealth War Graves give birthplace as Granbourne, it should be Grantown on Spey. His widow lived in London.
