Robin Hood Rifles, South Africa.
James' grandson writes: 'The group photo of the Robin Hood
Rifles as they were known is confirmed by an inscription in my grandfather's watch given to him by the officers mess when he returned home from South Africa
to his family.'
He also writes: 'The inscription on the group
photo shows him incorrectly in the top row. I believe that he is third from the
right in the bottom row.'
James' grandson has also sent two more photographs of James (Jim or Jimmy to the family). The first is taken on a football field somewhere in England. The second is a portrait of James Atkin in uniform.
