Extract from the Bedfordshire Times and Independent 6 October 1916:

The death in action on the Western front is reported of Lance-corpl. George Henry Grantham, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. Grantham, of Marlborough road, Bedford. A promising career at the Modern School ended in his being awarded a Leaving Exhibition, with which he went to a London College. Thence he passed into the Actuarial Department of the National Health Insurance Commission, being placed eleventh in a competitive examination with 400 entrants. While serving in theis Department, he gained the distinction, at the early aged of 21, of Associateship of the Institute of Actuaries. The examination over, he at once "joined up," and on December 2nd, 1915, crossed to France with a draft of the London Regiment (the Civil Service Service Rifles). When the "Great Push" cause he saw considerable fighting, but escaped unhurt until Sept. 15th. 1916, when he met an instantaneous death. At school the boys admired him as a "sticker," and a straight forward fellow, while the Headmaster and Staff looked upon him as one sure to make a name for himself, and do honour to the school. He was quiet and unassuming, but a lad of great strength of character. From his Commanding Officer and from his comrades at the front, Mr. and Mrs. Grantham have received letters bearing witness to the esteem in which he was held by those who have been with him daily during his ten months in France, his comrades mentioning that "he was alwaysbrave, cheerful and a gentleman."
