Ahh...that makes it harder...

This man gives birthplace as Aberdeenshire so maybe not yours.

Will keep reading the file to see who he served with and where.

Okay, I can see your James on the 1901 Scottish Census.  Also there is the James that I found in the service records so we can discount them sorry.

There is a medal roll card however for a James G STEPHEN who was with the Royal Highlanders and the Royal Fuseliers.  The service numbers are 350691 and GS/129490.
