Came across this in a brum paper dated 1916 someone might find it useful
 
I've not heard of any Robinsons with those initials Graham but thank you anyway..
A fabulous pic.
 
:angel: I wonder if this poor chap was a member of the same 'Robinson' family as the other three ? A cousin maybe... (He is not one of Kandy's Robinson's either). Anyway I think he needs to be remembered too:

John Robinson found a while ago on the 'Great War Executions' list. I then went to the CWGC site and found the poor chaps details:
