Additional information
Son of John Clinton Graham and Hazel Anna (Wright) Graham. He was a farm boy at the time he enlisted and, since he was only 17 years old, he used his brother's name which was Simon Malcolm. Upon being informed that her son had joined the army, his mother contacted the military officials requesting that Jack be discharged. As the paper work was not completed before his eighteenth birthday, Jack remained in the army and was wounded a few days before his death on July 17, 1944. Jack had just turned 18 the previous March.
Brother of Lance Corporal Lewis Maxwell Graham who died on July 18, 1943 while serving with the Carleton and York Regiment.
