All WW1 military records list his name as Charles James, however all birth, census and a 1910 Army Service record show that his names was actually Clifford James Johnson, this is supported by his pension cards where his mother is named Maria - the same name as on his bapitsm and census records. Charles/Clifford died of an unstated disease at the 16th Casualty Clearing Station, Filayish, Iraq. More men were killed by disease in Mesopotamia than by enemy actions. |
