Indian Army Reserve of Officers
Trossachs Parish Churchyard, Perthshire, UK
Son of James Noble Graham, D. L., J. P.,
of Carfin and Stonebyres, Lanarkshire,
husband of Marion Bethea Alexander Graham (now Lady O'Donnell).
A. D. C. (Aide-de-Campe) to His Excellency the Viceroy of India.

His death was due to an accident on board the Hospital Ship "Madras".
On 14th July, 1915, Capt. Graham returned from Poona, where he had attended a session of the Legislative Council, and on the same afternoon the Hospital Ship "Madras" arrived with wounded, and as the other officers of the Embarkation Staff were engaged Capt. Graham undertook to go on board and assist in the work of landing the sick and wounded.
As soon as the gangway was lowered he ran up it, tripped at the top, and fell through an open hatchway to the bottom of a coal bunker. As the bunker was empty he fell fully thirty feet before striking the iron floor. His injuries were very serious - a fracture of the left hip and four ribs.
Assistance was at once forthcoming, and he was removed to a vacant berth, but it was soon apparent that there was little chance of his recovery. Hemorrhage set in and he died at a quarter past eight o'clock, Mrs. Graham being with him at the end.
