HAROLD L GRAVES Cpl 7th Norfolk Rgt 2nd April 1916
Mr and Mrs T Graves have received word of the death of their son in a letter from his chum *Pte James Duffield, Braithwaite.
Writing direct to Mrs Graves, he said, " Although I feel so ill and my nerves so shattered, and I am utterly miserable I feel it is my duty to write to you, though it tears my heart to do so. On the second of April I was sitting in my dugout, and was just about to make myself a little breakfast, when someone put his head in and shouted "stretcher bearers" . Little did I think when I rushed out that I was going to see poor Harold lying there. It gave me an awful shock, I closed my eyes and wished the earth would swallow me up for I could see instantly that I was helpless, and that it was impossible to save him, but thank god I was by his side. He never spoke though I knelt by his side for 15 minutes before he closed his eyes, poor lad both his legs and one arm were broken, a mine had been exploded and lumps of chalk had struck him. I and three other stretcher bearers carried him out of the trench to the cemetery where he was buried by our chaplain. He was a brave lad and died doing his duty, may God comfort you all.
