==Early life==
James Park Woods, the son of a blacksmith, was born at Two Wells, South Australia in South Australia on 4 January 1886. He was raised by a stepsister after the death of his parents and after completing his schooling, worked on an orchard alongside his brothers. Of short stature (163 cm or 5 ft 4 ins), an attempt to enlist in the First Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in 1914 failed. He and a brother, Will Woods, moved to Western Australia and for the next two years worked in cartage and fencing before taking up vineyard work. After further attempts to join the AIF failed, on 29 September 1916, after height restrictions were lowered, he successfully enlisted.
