Burial/memorial information
When his brother Private William Graham, 80th Battalion (Belleville Regiment) was ready to go overseas, Hugh went to say farewell and instead joined him. He attested on 22 April 1916 at Belleville, Ontario, stating he was an accountant.
The two brothers went overseas and remained together. They both served in the 102nd Battalion until their deaths at Vimy Ridge, sadly, on the same day. Information courtesy of Merrickville Memorial Project, May 2002.
