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.
