J. Barras
The Border Regiment
2nd September 1944, age 30.
The call was short
the shock severe
to part with one
we all loved so dear.
James was the son of James Gray and Dorothy and the husband of Emily Mary of Paddington, London. He was born and enlisted in Newcastle upon Tyne. James is commemorated on the Army Roll of Honour, 1939-45.
