Description
LOCAL CASUALTIES. Our photos are of Private George Graham, 2nd West Yorkshire Regiment, who is reported to have been killed in action on January 26, and of Drive Luke, 1st Northumbrian R.E., killed inn action on February 11 by shell fire. Private Graham belonged to Boldon Colliery and was only 22 yeqars of age. He enlisted on September 2. This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 22nd of February 1915. During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past. The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.
