Sgt Tom Graham

(1918 - 2011)

Also known as: Tommy.

1908534 Aged 93 Sadly missed by his family and friends. Former Member of Whitby & District Branch.

Tom Graham was a proud ex-Royal Engineer and loved, in his later years, the reunions with fellow Sappers. His memories of the war in the desert and in Europe were vivid and he told me several, but certainly not all, of them. He was a quiet man, not given to intimate emotional revelation, and this made his telling of what he allowed me, his son, to know, the more vivid and affecting. It is an irony that now I live with my wife and family in an area of Europe through which he most certainly would have passed on his way to Saarbrucken during the war I feel, as a member of the younger generation whose future he and countless others like him had helped to secure, thankful, deeply respectful and proud. With his passing, I have lost a Dad and a good man. I'll miss him enormously-I know he would want to be remembered to fellow Engineers.
