Pte. Robert "Roy" Graham
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Dublin Fusilliers
from:Karncot, Dundrum, Co. Dublin
(d.21st Nov 1917)
Robert (Roy) Graham was my great great uncle (my great grandmother's brother). He was one of the first casualties of the opening of the Battle of Cambrai on 20 November 1917. I understand from the little information that I have been able to gather of him that he was extremely well thought of within his battalion, as when I came across a website that included statements of the various soldiers killed in action, comments from his commanding officer and chaplain went beyond an expression of regret.
He enlisted in April 1915 and served with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Dublin Fusiliers during WW1. He was killed in action on the 21st November 1917, aged 21 and is buried in Croissiles British Cemetery, France. He was the only son of Mr and Mrs John Graham, Barncot, Dundrum, County Dublin.

He was subsequently evacuated to the UK and spent time at Wordsley Hospital (noted for its pioneering plastic surgery unit), near Stourbridge, Worcs. It was here that he met a nurse called May Wale, whom he later married. In the family group photo with his wife, parents and brother-in-law, he is wearing his Silver War Badge.
L/Cpl Thomas Graham
British Army Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:Lucan, Co Dublin, Ireland
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.

Pte William Graham
British Army 19th Btn Northumberland Fusiliers
from:902, Scotswood Rd, Newcastle-on-Tyne
(d.11th Jul 1916)
Graham, William. Private 19/1598, Killed in Action on 11th July 1916. Aged 35 years.
Remembered on the Thiepval Memorial, Pier and Face 10 B 11 B and 12 B. CWGC record shows his service number as 18/1598, believed incorrect as this would indicate he was a member of the 18th Northumberland Fusiliers whereas he is clearly shown in the 19th records.
Son of Archibald and Elizabeth Graham, of Cummings Lane, Carlisle; husband of Amie Graham, of 902, Scotswood Rd, Newcastle-on-Tyne.
From the 19th Btn Northumberland Fusiliers Roll of Honour.
Spr. William Mitchell Graham
British Army 106th Coy. Royal Engineers
from:Lewknor, Oxfordshire
(d.23rd Aug 1916)
Will Graham emigrated to Canada before the war and homesteaded in Saskatchewan (then Northwest Territories) living in a sod shack. He sold the farm and returned to Lewknor, Oxfordshire in England to enlist once war broke out.
Will died leading a forward night-time infantry trenching party, killed by an exploding German shell which fell nearby, August 23, 1916. He is buried in Authuille Military Cemetery, Authuille, France.
Oddly, Will is buried in the same cemetery as Lt. Gerald Spring-Rice, who was a farm landlord from Pense, Saskatchewan, with whom Will worked prior to homesteading himself. Gerald Spring-Rice, also returned to England to fight serving with the Londsdale Battalion, Border Regiment and died in May 1916. Their final resting place in Authille cemetery seems almost certainly to be purely coincidental.
