Thomas Graham's war story started when he was selling a horse in the Springfield horse market in Dublin in the year of 1914. He said he was sick and tired riding the 8 miles from his job in Lucan, and having to walk home after the sale of the horse. So on one of those days he enlisted in the British Army who were recruiting in the market place. Thomas when on to see action in Greece & Belgium,was wounded in June 1916 and again in September 1917. As a result he was discharged on the 14th May 1918. Thomas returned home to Lucan where he married and raised 7 children, living into his 70's.
