Born in 1891, we see James Hartley Naish in 1911 living with his family at 36 Lyne Road, Newport. He is recorded as working as a basket weaver.
He served with the 3/1st Bn and the 1/2 Bn of the Manchester Regiment as well as 910 & 913 Compamies of the Labour Corps with the service number 513832. He eventually ends up serving with the Royal Fusiliers in the 44th Garrison Bn with the service number GS/125105.
