'Captain Graham was killed in Mesopotamia on July 24th. "Had he lived," writes his Colonel, "he would certainly have been mentioned in despatches. In addition to splendid leading on the day of his death, he had just previously carried out a daring night reconnaissance which was of considerable value to the Force. It was a fine death - killed in the heat of action in a very hot corner." He was a fearless, large-hearted man, who never allowed his abounding humour to veil a serious outlook upon life. ' (Malvernian, Nov 1915).
He was killed during the capture of Al Nasiriya on the Euphrates.
