James Dewar sailed to France with the first first draft of the Liverpool Scottish aboard the Maidan in November 1914, and is therefore additionally entitled to the 1914 Star. A note in the Crosby Herald on 19 August 1916 states that he suffered a shrapnel wound (not serious) to the right hand and was admitted to hospital in France.
