Abstract
The short life of James Cleland Richardson VC is both poignant and pertinent to the broader narrative of the Scottish diaspora at war. It encapsulates the experience of a young, newly-arrived Scottish emigrant to Canada who so very soon after his arrival volunteered to defend his recently left homeland and the Empire. Sadly as with many others who had made similar journeys he was to make the ultimate sacrifice.
