He was buried one mile N.W. of Neuve Chapelle; _unm._ Col. May, of the Artists, wrote: “He splendidly upheld the best traditions of the British Army and possessed the goodwill of all of us who came into contact with him. His name will always be remembered in this regt. with pride as well as sorrow”; and a brother officer in the Worcesters: “He had only been with us a month or two, but in that time, by his cheeriness, by his keenness, and by his hard work and enthusiasm we had all got to like him immensely. His cheerfulness was catching.... He was very plucky and would insist on exposing himself unnecessarily, generally in the hope that he would spot the enemy or find some better place for his platoon. His loss is a real one for the regt. for he was one of the right stuff and of the sort we want in the Worcestershire Regt. A brave, cheery, kindly, popular officer and we can ill afford his loss.” The Principal of the Imperial Bureau also wrote: “He was one of the keenest and most willing assistants I have ever had, and showed every promise of making a name for himself as a scientific worker. His cheery enthusiasm and charm of manner endeared him to all who had the pleasure of working with him, and his place will be hard indeed to fill.” [Illustration: =Duncan Hepburn Gotch.=] =GOUGH, ERIC JOHN FLETCHER=, Capt., 1st Battn.

(T.F.), elder _s._ of John Graham, of Mohrcroft, Aigburth Drive, Liverpool, and the Croft, Hoylake, Sugar Refiner, by his wife, Mary Gilkison, dau. of James Allan, of Glasgow; _b._ at Liverpool, 3 April 1877; educ. Marlborough, and became a partner in the firm of Macfie & Sons, the well-known Sugar Refiners of Liverpool. He had joined the old Liverpool Scottish Volunteers in 1900 and continued with them after they became the 10th Territorial Battalion of the King’s Liverpool Regt., retiring with the rank of Capt. On the outbreak of war in Aug. 1914, he immediately rejoined as a Private and was given a Commission as Lieut., 25 Sept., and promoted Capt. 13 April, 1915; went to France, Oct. 1914, and was killed in the great charge of the Liverpool Scottish near Hooge, 16 June, 1915; _unm._ He was mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 22 June, 1915] by F.M. Sir John (now Lord) French, for gallant and distinguished conduct in the field. Though good at racquets and cricket, it was as a golfer that Capt. Graham was best known in the sporting world. He was in the first flight of amateur golfers, and had attained international honours, and, while never getting further than the Amateur Championship semi-final, he had won most of the Club and open prizes. _The Times_ said: “Not only was he one of the very finest of amateur golfers, but his most delightful and modest nature had endeared him to everyone who ever met him. ‘Jack’ Graham will be remembered in golfing history as the one really great player who never won a championship. It would not be right to call him an unlucky golfer. He had good chances and a natural genius for the game, but there was something in his temperament that prevented him from playing his best game in the crucial rounds towards the end of a championship. It was certainly not lack of courage in the ordinary sense of the word. No one who knew him could doubt that, and he has given the finest and most conclusive proof to the contrary. But the strain of hard matches day after day always proved too great a strain on his powers of endurance, and though he five times reached the final of the Amateur Championship he never got any farther. He was more successful as a score player than a match player. Only last year at Sandwich he won the St. George’s Vase at Sandwich by truly magnificent golf; his record in the Hoylake medals was one of many successes and he several times finished first amateur on the list of the Open Championship. On one occasion in particular at Muirfield he finished immediately after the great ‘triumvirate’ and gave Taylor, who was drawn with him, one of the most agitating days of his long career. Capt. Graham was a great golfer. He could not but have been sometimes disappointed on account of his comparative lack of success, and he knew that his friends at Hoylake were more bitterly disappointed on his behalf than he ever was on his own. Not only did no word of complaint or excuse ever escape him, but he never for one moment fell into the opposite error of pretending that he did not care. He took his ups and downs with perfect modesty and quietness, and was always interested in the play and the success of others. At Marlborough he distinguished himself at football, cricket and racquets, and if he had had time to play might have made a name for himself as a cricketer, but he always worked very hard at his business. Indeed he played comparatively little golf, but it was remarkable how he could so constantly play a very fine game with so little practice--an occasional Saturday afternoon and perhaps an evening walk on the links with two clubs under his arm, being apparently all the practice that he needed.” [Illustration: =John Graham, Jun.=] =GRAHAM, MALCOLM HEWLEY=, Lieut., 2nd Battn.

Repton and Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he was studying for the medical profession; on the outbreak of war volunteered and was gazetted to the 3rd Yorkshire Regt., 15 Aug. 1914; went to the Front the following March, and was there attached to the 2nd Battn. He was promoted Lieut., 2 Feb., 1915, and was killed in action at Givenchy, near La Bassée, 15 June, 1915, and was buried close to Givenchy Church; _unm._ His Colonel wrote: “He was most gallantly leading his platoon when he fell, shot through the neck. Your son was a most excellent officer, very keen and hard working and he will be a great loss to the battn. Please accept the deepest sympathy of all ranks in your great loss.” Lieut. Graham was a fine athlete. At Repton he shot at Bisley for his school, and at Cambridge he rowed in the “Lents” and “Mays,” and was in the boat that won the Clinker Fours. He also rowed at Henley in 1914, where his boat won the Ladies’ Challenge Plate, and he was elected a member of the Leander Club.
