Roberts, James

James Roberts has not been identified. The statistics for deaths of servicemen during the war named “James Roberts” recorded in the CWGC register and ‘Soldiers Died in the Great War’ volumes total 63 from the Army (of which 38 have no middle name or initial) and eight from the Royal Navy or Mercantile Marine, with a further 120 in the register with just the description “J. Roberts”, which will include other forenames beginning with “J”. We have not been able to find a Buckley connection for any of these.
