Hello The James Maycock you have in the WW1 list is my great great uncle. He joined the Leicestershire regiment and then later was a Pioneer in the 4th Battalion of the Special Brigade of the Royal Engineers. He died from the effects of gas on 9 Oct 1916 in France, leaving a wife and 2 children. I don't know why he is listed on the Transport War Memorial - would it be something to do with his occupation? At the 1911 census his occupation is an assistant gardner. He also had 2 brothers George and Thomas Maycock in the Leicestershire regiment who were both also killed in 1916, one of them by friendly fire in a training camp! So not a good year for the Maycock family. Their sister Lily is my great grandmother and she emigrated to New Zealand in 1924.
