M.M. London Gazette 10 August 1916.

James Wolfendale was born in 1895 and was living with his family at Tonge Square, Farnworth by 1901, his father being a coal miner. He was, by 1911, an 'inmate' at The Fylde Farm Reformatory School for Boys at Hardhorn, so perhaps young Wolfendale had been in trouble in his young years. He served in France with the 9th Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment from 25 September 1915. Having earned his M.M., he latterly served with the Territorial Army; sold together with copied research.
