Kim James
Kim James has had a variety of successful careers.
Firstly, he joined the British Army and served in the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment for three years at the end of the 2nd World War.
During the fifties and sixties he was a successful sculptor and his work was sold to private collections all over the world. His public work can still be seen, among which is the Mammoth sculpture in front of the Darwin Science building at Nottingham Trent University and a very large relief sculpture on the staircase in St Matthews Church in Bethnal Green in London. He was a member of the group around Henry Moore at the Middleheim Sculpture Biennale in 1969.
He then gave up art and re-trained as a scientist. He gained an MA in the psychology of Art from the Royal College in London and an MSc in Brain Science from Brunel University. His PhD was in cybernetics from Brunel. For ten years he was Principal lecturer in Art Therapy and from 1987 to 1996 he ran a training course for Psychiatric Nurses at the French National Institute.
It was whilst working in the hospital in Rouen that he came across the graves of the British soldiers, one of whom was his uncle. His research into the lives and deaths of all the soldiers led to the eventual discovery of the true circumstances of the battle in Criquebeuf – the last before the fall of France. The story of which can be read in “A Greater Share of Honor”.
He is now writing the exciting biography of the wife of one of the French soldiers. An amazing story of imprisonment by the SS, blackmail, abortions, child abuse, escape from the guillotine and beautiful women.
