The Roll of Honour of the Parish of Hayton (on the wall of Hayton church) lists an officer, John Davenport Graham, as fighting in the Great War. (For some time I thought it said he was killed in that war, but I was just misreading the plaque. Doh!). Also, my father’s cousin, Brian Tidmarsh, inherited from his mother (who was the daughter of Ellen Octavia Graham), an old compass, made in 1918, and in a leather case. The case is inscribed J.D. Graham, Edmond Castle, 5th (?) Warwickshire Regiment, and must surely have belonged to this John Davenport. Ellen Octavia would have got it from her brother.
