The photograph below refers to a JAMES WHITEHEAD, a name which appears on the WW1 Memorial at Ardrossan, but which isn’t accompanied by any family intimation locally to pinpoint exactly who he was. However, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and www.naval-history.net both list a Petty Officer James Whitehead, Service No. 1/1853, Clyde Anson Battalion, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, who died at the Gallipoli Campaign on 25 April, 1915, and this link seems likely: -
