Private PETER GRAHAM
Last address in Lewis: 9 Maciver's Buildings, Stornoway
Son of Colin and Christina Graham, of 9, MacIvers Buildings, Keith St., Stornoway.
Service unit: 1st Seaforth Highlanders

Please note that the medal record card quotes a date of death as 28 January 1916, and the regiment as the 2nd Seaforth Highlanders. This appears to be incorrect.

The 1901 census shows a 6-year old Peter Graham at 19A South Bragar, son of Colin and Christina. It is possible that they moved to Stornoway later, but no reference is found in the 1911 census.

Peter's brother Murdo served in the Ross Mountain Battery.
