He was born in 1881 at Baillieston, the son of John Wilson and Henrietta Waddell. A name like James Wilson is somewhat difficult to deal with. In Australia, it is very often the case that there are honour boards in local areas, in halls, schools, etc. listing those who served, and indeed who made the ultimate sacrifice in war. Even in churches there are memorial boards, listing members who enlisted/served. I'm wondering whether this would have happened in Scotland, and in particular in the Baillieston area. The Wilson family lived at 153 Main Road, Baillieston, and on the opposite side of the road there was a church, long gone now. There was at one time an association of the family with the Crosshill Church. > > I've followed other lines of enquiry to learn something of James Wilson's war service, but all to no avail.
