Only info I have is 1914 Graham Thomas m.28.Service and War Returns/Minor Records 115/AF 0022,also he was a coal miner also he passed away on 10th June 1918.

Can you explain this reference?
To what does it refer?
Are you looking for Graham Thomas, or Thomas Graham?

When was he born? Was that 1914?

Where was he born, and where did he live?

Sorry for so many questions!
Maybe my brain is still sleepy, as I simply don't understand?

hi Maureen
ancestry has all ww1 service records and medal cards  but don,t be surprised if you can,t find a service record as up to 60% were destroyed in a bombing raid in ww2 and those that are left are what is known as the burnt  records a bit singed round the edges most of them or water damaged .
just out of curiosity where does the service and war returns detail come from .
regards
trevor

I think you may have obtained these details from Scotlandspeople perhaps? Would he be from Stoneykirk, Stranraer? There seems to be Thomas Graham died in 1914 serving in the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders. Is that him and if so then who was it that died in 1918?

Sorry about not giving all info .I thought maybe  the 1914 war records bit was  when he went to war,He died in Galashiels on May 10th 1918.His family lived at 17 park St Galashiels.
