240896 Sgt Grayson John Thomas. Home at Railway St, Rillington, Malton, Yorks. Born Bossall, Yorks. Enlisted at
Driffield. Died of wounds on the 8th May 1918 aged 21. [CWGC give initials J V.].
He was for some time an Instructor with the Reserve 2/5th Battalion and letters still exist from his family to his Commanding Officer at Chelmsford, where the 2/5th were based, asking if he could be released at Harvest time to help on the farm.
Eventually the great losses of men meant that even Instructors had to be called to the Front.
It appears that he was wounded and taken prisoner in either the German offensive of March 1918 on the Somme or of April 1918 on the River Lys.
His family went through the trauma of receiving the usual "missing in action" report, to be followed by the good news that he was alive and wounded, but able to go out.
Only to receive shortly after a letter from the Kommandatur of the POW Camp, Altdamen, Pomerania:-
"The Kommandatur regrets to inform you that John Grayson, 240806, 5th Yorkshire Regt, Prisoner of war, died on 8 May in the Camp Hospital from wounds and was buried with military honours on 11 May, according to the Methodist rites."
John is buried at the Berlin South Western Cemetery.
