Biography

James Baire was the youngest son of five boys to join the Army, at the age of seventeen. Captured a nest of Nazi’s single handled. Refused compensation on discharge because others needed it more. Never received the earned Medals, our family would love to have them to remember Our Dad’s sacrifices.
