Pte. William Graves
British Army 55th Protection Coy. Royal Defence Corps
from:Hull
My Great Grandfather William Graves served with the East Yorkshire Regiment and 55th Protection Coy. Royal Defence Corps. I didn't know anything about him until my family found his Death Penny in a deceased relatives personal effects. I found his grave in Hull. He survived the War but was struck down on his return from a pandemic of flu that actually killed a lot of people just after Armistice Day. William Graves was entitled to a War Grave as although everyone thinks the end of WW1 was 11th of November 1918, that was when the guns fell silent. WW1 wasn't officially over until the Treaty of Versailles came into force on 10th Jan 1920.
