Spr. Robert Grayson
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Ormskirk
I know little about my maternal grandfather Robert Grayson's military service other than that he was discharged at some point on medical grounds. The pension records are indecipherable. I know he served in Egypt from 23rd December 1915. He was a solicitor's clerk before The Great War in Ormskirk, near Liverpool and returned there to become an estate clerk. He married my grandmother in 1923. He was, apparently, a very good cricketer and played for Ormskirk Cricket Club. He died the year before I was born in 1957; his fondness for a wee dram did not help his longevity. I gather his business with local farmers on market days was usually undertaken in the great number of pubs in Ormskirk. Any information about him would be greatly appreciated.
