Why?

Why did James decide to leave us? He may have written a note, but his notebook was burned and hard to read.

His career in the army was going very well indeed, with talk of promotions, commendations, and commissions in the offing.

A couple of weeks before James died, he put himself onto crutches by falling off a lamppost. This caused him to miss a parachute exercise, but he was not out of action for long, and was still on course for a posting in Canada.

On the day that James died, he was riding a friend's new motorcycle, and damaged it. Maybe he was feeling bad about this. He also had a run-in with one of his commanding officers on the same day.

We probably won't know what else James was feeling.
