My grandmother's brother Jimmy Graham, of the Mercantile Marine Reserve. Born 1879? Died 24 Aug 1916. Was a Fireman on board the HMS Duke of Albany. Torpedoed off the Pentland Skerries, Scotland, by UB-27. She sank in 6 minutes. Also RIP another of her brothers, Andrew Graham, dates unknown. Possibly a member of the King's Regiment (Liverpool). RIP my paternal grandfather, Charles Green. Norfolk & Essex Regiments. Signed up aged 15, and eventually retrieved by his parents. Joined up again under the alias Charles Patrick O'Riley, which is the name inscribed on his medals. Disappeared 1929. Suffered from shellshock after the war, and one day just never came home again. They never found him. RIP my maternal grandfather, Percy Victor Allen, Worcestshire Regiment. Wounded at some point during the war and shiped back to Blighty where he eventually recovered. Died in 1961. She told me a story of the day the Armisitice was declared; everyone in Liverpool left their jobs and gathered in the streets to celebtate. She remembered seeing a huge black American infantryman, sitting at a piano in the middle of the street, playing ragtime piano, with a bunch of links of sausages draped around his neck by a greatful butcher! Brave brave men, all. David Green
