Memorial Plaque, 1914-1918 (2) (James Johnston Vass), in original cardboard envelope, and (Frederick Arnott), the second lightly cleaned, both generally very fine or better (2). Lance-Sergeant James Johnston Vass, a British Born subject from Walworth, London, living in Melbourne, Australia, served in the 59th Battalion A.I.F., and was killed in action in France on 25 July 1916, just days after the notorious Battle of Fromelles (19-2o July, 1916). He is remembered at the Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension, France. Two men of the name Frederick Arnott appear to have been WWI casualties, the first a 2nd Lieutenant in the D.L.I., killed in action on 29 March 1918, and a Private in the 7th Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment, died of wounds on 19 February 1917.
