Thank you VERY VERY MUCH Thelma for this information. I think he must be the man I have been searching for and given up hopes of finding. The date of birth tallies within 2 days of the one I have from his age given when he enlisted in the Coldstream Guards on 7 Sept 1914, also he was born in Padiham which is next door to Burnley. He was my uncle by his first marriage to Grace Mary Stringer on 4 Aug 1917, she died from influenza on 29 Aug 1918.
H e was awarded a gallentry medal, The Military Medal (MM) in August 1918. He was also awarded the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. I sit possible to find out if had any children after arriving in the USA. I would like to find out what happened to his medals? Are their any medal dealers in the LA area who might be able to help?
Once again thanks for the info.
Best regards,
Fred Stringer.

My uncle James Charles Worrell was born at Padiham, Lancs in 1890. He served in the Coldstream Guards from Sept 1914 to Maech 1919. He won The MM in 1918. The last record I have of him is being in Nelson Lancs on the 8th March 1919. Does anyone have info after this date. Did he emmigrate to Australia or Canada.
