James Aylett was born in Leitram, Ireland, and enlisted into the 20th Regiment of Foot at Blegaum, India, on 15 October 1832, by ‘special permission to be trained as Drummer’, aged 16 years. He was appointed probationary Orderly Room Clerk on 10 January 1837, and promoted to Corporal on 31 May 1837; Paymaster Sergeant on 15 February 1839;; and Quartermaster Sergeant on 1 July 1851. He was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal on 11 May 1854, and was commissioned as Quartermaster whilst serving in the Crimea on 9 February 1855. He was initially recommended for an Ensigncy, being ‘the most deserving non-commissioned officer’ in the regiment, but took the position of Quartermaster at his own request. After service in India during the Great Sepoy Mutiny, he exchanged into the 29th Regiment of Foot on 23 March 1859, and thereafter served at Home and in Ireland until he went on half-pay with the honorary rank of Captain on 30 June 1865. He retired on 1 July 1881, and died on 21 May 1882.
