James served as a a Lieutenant in the Canadian Engineers during WWI and he was born on June 19, 1889 in Ashcroft, British Columbia.  According to his military records (which I have in their entirety), his mother is Mary Lindsey Alexander.  He was a student in Forestry from 1914-1916 and, after serving in WWI, again from 1919 to 1921.  I think he may have went by Lindsey and not James.

The reason I am posting here is that I would like to get in touch with any surviving family members who might know his burial place (if he has any).  I own his British War Medal (see below) and I want to create a online memorial for him, but I need to know his final resting place and a little more about his life.
