James Huggan
James Laidlaw Huggan (died on 16 September 1914, aged 25) was a Scotland rugby union player. He was killed in World War I[1] at the First Battle of the Aisne.[2] He died two days after Ronald Simson, another Scottish player, who was the first rugby international to die in the conflict, and who was also at the Aisne.[2]
Huggan played for London Scottish RFC, and had taken part in the last rugby international before the war, the Calcutta Cup match at Inverleith (Edinburgh) in March 1914.[2] He scored three tries in that match.[2]
