"
James Stokes was born on 6 February 1915 in Hutchesontown, a place that formed the geographic and cultural backdrop of his early life. A citizen of the United Kingdom, he used English throughout his life.
Stokes served as military personnel, a career that would define the course of his adult years. His service was recognised at the highest level when he was awarded the Victoria Cross, a military decoration conferred upon him in acknowledgment of his conduct during that service.
Stokes died on 1 March 1945 in Germany. He was twenty-nine years old at the time of his death. The Victoria Cross he received remains the concrete record of his military service, and Germany was the country where his life ended.
