05.11.2009 : Lasting Tribute wrote WO2 Miles, Company Sergeant Major Headquarter Company, First Battalion Grenadier Guards, said:

Guardsman James Major was an extremely personable young man I had only known for a short time as his Company Sergeant Major. During that time he impressed me with his outright enthusiasm in his work in Barracks and incredible courage in the face of the enemy.

Always praised by his Platoon Sergeant for his constant drive to succeed, he died doing the job he loved. He was a quiet man who was well respected by his peers and this is evident in the fond words spoken in his memory.

James was without doubt a credit to himself and his family whom I know he loved so dearly and I am proud to say that I knew him. My sincerest and heartfelt thoughts are with his family and friends in this very difficult time.
05.11.2009 : Lasting Tribute wrote Lance Sergeant Peter Baily, Signaller, Commanding Officer's Tactical Command Group, said:

Guardsman Major was posted into the Commanding Officer's TAC group just before the tour. He immediately came across as a very intelligent and motivated soldier.

For the few short weeks Guardsman Jimmy Major was with the TAC group he became an integral part of an already close-knit team. He was a hard worker and always carried out any job to his fullest potential.

A quiet soldier at first but he came out of his shell quickly and showed a rare comical side that kept the rest of the TAC group in high spirits.

Guardsman Major was 18 years old and had been ready to celebrate his birthday next week. He had shown a keen interest in boxing although he had never competed, but had aspirations of taking it up on return to the UK.
05.11.2009 : Lasting Tribute wrote Guardsman Daniel Harvey, a close friend, said:

Jimmy was a friendly and caring person who tended to look after the people around him. He was a quiet man who came into his own with his drive to succeed within the Battalion.

He was employed in the Sergeants' Mess but strived to be sent to a Rifle Company as he felt he could achieve greater and better things. Although Jimmy was a quiet man he liked nothing else but to go out and have a few beers with his mates. He had one of the funniest funny streaks I have ever seen.

Jimmy was very family-orientated and made no secret that he loved them all very much, in particular his Mum. Jimmy will be missed by all the people around him and without knowing it he has made an impact on me and on all others in his circle of friends.
05.11.2009 : Lasting Tribute wrote Guardsman Martin Nelson, a close friend, said:

Jimmy, or Major as we called him, was a great mate. He was always there when you needed someone to lend a hand or to go for a drink with. He was never far away when you were down and he always knew what to say to help you out.

He took me under his wing from the very first time I met him; we first met in Nijmegen Company and he was the one to show me how to do my kit properly before a Queen's Guard.

It only seems like the other day when we both chatted in Wellington Barracks and he was asking about my son. He was a brilliant lad; someone who will never be forgotten. My thoughts go out to his family and we are all thinking about them in their time of need. Major, you were a great mate, loved by all of us and will be never forgotten.
05.11.2009 : Lasting Tribute wrote Guardsman Alexander Bone, a close friend, said:

Guardsman James 'Jimmy' Major was recruited from Cleethorpes by Sgt Telford, he enjoyed most sports especially boxing and football. He was a very keen supporter of Manchester United Football Club.

He was very proud to be selected for his very important job in the Commanding Officer's TAC group. For a small man he had a longer than life personality with a presence and loving/sharing nature which made him standout amongst his peers.

A character full of spirit and laughter, which will be missed by all that knew him.
05.11.2009 : Jane Pillay wrote Jimmy Major went all through school with my son and daughter and they say what a fantastic lad he was.

What a tragic loss of a brave young man.

Our hearts go out to his family, may he rest in peace.

06.11.2009 : layla phillips wrote There are some good memories that was left with me. It will be hard for me to relise jimmy has gone. He was a funny, outgoing person that always wanted to do somthing new, it is unfair and wrong that he has gone this way, he put his trust into this man and to know that there is people out there that can do that makes me sick.
He was a special person to alot off people, i can't imagen what his family is going through i give them all the hope to be able to get through this.
