On March 28, 1916, at Lanigan, Saskatchewan, Canada, James Abernethy, 20, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he was single; that he was a farmer; that he resided in Otterson, P.O., Saskatchewan, Canada; that he was born in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England; and that his next of kin was Mrs. Isaac Rule, 72 Ridley Street, Felling, Gateshead, O.T.
