James Haughan
British Army Machine Gun Corps

My grand father, James Haughan (Born 1897) enlisted from 3 Hobart Terrace, Moorville, Carlisle in Jan 1916. The house is now 16 Kingstown Road. He was a fireman on the London, Midland and Scottish Railway when enlisted. He signed up to 4th Border Regiment at 18 years, 5 months as a railway fireman on 18th Jan 1916. He transferred to the Machine Gun Corps.
He was demobbed in Oct 1919 to 9 Summerfield Street, Glasgow. He missed out on his gold watch for long service to the railway because he volunteered, had he been conscripted, he would have got it!
