Milton Graham was born in Padiham in 1880 and in 1911 came with his family to live with his parents in Bank Street, Brierfield.
Milton served as a sergeant in the 6th Bn Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, and was killed in 1915 during the Galipolli campaign at Chunuk Biar when the battalion was nearly wiped out to a man. He has no known grave but his name appears on the Helles memorial. At some stage, Milton was probably a regular soldier, because his wife and daughter were actually born in India.

Also from the First World War, Patrick Tarmey. He was in the Royal Engineers and died December 2nd, 1916.
He is listed as born in Brierfield by the regiment's list, but in Nelson or Barrowford in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission list. However, his name was on the roll of honour at Trinity Church, Brierfield, so on to the memorial he now goes.
He has two known relatives - Mrs Jean Thomas, from Colne, who will be joining the Brierfield Remembrance Service this year, and Army Captain Martin Thwaites, who has informed us due to operational duties he will not be able to attend.
