Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Belgium CWGC Name: GRABURN, GEORGE WILLIAM Initials: G W Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Private Regiment: Lincolnshire Regiment Unit Text: 1st Bn. Age: 36 Date of Death: 09/12/1914 Service No: 8539 Additional information: Son of William Graburn, of 136, Weelsbeck St., Grimsby, and the late Melinda Graburn. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: Panel 21. Cemetery: YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL Family On the 1891 census, the 13 year old George is at home at 60 Wood Street in Grimsby with the rest of his family (below). I can't yet find him on the 1901 census. He would have been 23 at that time and possibly already a regular soldier? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
