- Notes
- There were at least two James Grahams in the 50th, possibly more.
It sounds as though "Jimmie Graham" might be a different person than the "Major Graham" Ross mentions from time to time. (Perhaps Jimmie is of lower rank? Maybe he works in QMS if he thinks he can get Ross's pack back...) Based on the casual, comradely way Ross refers to him, we would assume he was a fellow NCO rather than a senior officer.
Accordingly, we have guessed that the James Graham who signed up in Calgary at the age of 33, giving his occupation as teamster, is the Jimmie Graham Ross mentions. However, there was also a Lieutenant James Graham in the 50th (who appears to have been Major Graham's son). Lieut. J. Graham did not join the battalion until November 25, 1917, however, and Ross mentions Jimmie before then.
Can anyone clarify this? Or does anyone have any other information on Jimmie Graham?
