Harold Hough (alias James Wood) was born in Longsight, Manchester, and attested for the Lancashire Fusiliers at Bury on 14 February 1888, aged 18 years (the medal roll for the Q.S.A. confirms the last four clasps only). He volunteered in 1914 at the age of 44 for active service and joined the 6/7th Battalion, Manchester Regiment. Hough served with the Battalion in Egypt and Gallipoli.
