"The competition was to be a team competition and had already attracted an
entry of 300 strongmen, but nothing daunted, the Scots led by the famous
wrestler Jimmy Esson of Aberdeen, entered and won. Sadly Jimmy Esson died
of his wounds in A German Prisoner of War camp in 1916."

"Jimmy Esson from Aberdeen was acclaimed as World Heavy Weight
Champion--------"

Does anyone out there have any information about Jimmy? I would like to
obtain the date of his birth and place of birth if possible.

Jimmy is/was supposedly a rellie of mine.
