Satty,

Very sorry for the long delay, I hope that the attached photo makes up for the wait - the world of the living has been more pressing these last few weeks!

Best Wishes.

James Gaskarth was billetted in my great granmother's house in Blackpool UK. He wrote a letter to her from Oswestry, in which he refers to two of his brothers, (one injured and in Manchester, and one A1 in France), before moving to the front where he was killed shortly after. I can post the letter (scanned copy) if it is of any interest.

Hi Alan,

I'm not sure how this working, but the two page letter should now be attached. James mentions his brother Joe at Heaton Park (a hospital, I understand by 1917) and his other brother at the front.
The people mentioned; Ray and Polly (Marsh), my grandmother Rachel and sister Mary.Their brother Bob, later KIA and George (Reed) my grandad. Mrs (Eleanor) Marsh is the addressee.
I have a picture of James obtained online from the Cartmel memorial site, along with the newspaper report of his death, which you might already have. Pleased to send if you haven't.
