Title	Edward Grayson, Boxmoor Home Guard WWII, RFC/RAF WWI
Description	Edward Grayson Born: Lurgan, County Armagh, 1894 Died: Hemel Hempstead, 1973 Edward Grayson came to Hemel Hempstead with his wife and children in 1939. He was working as a customs official and had been posted to Bovingdon airfield. With war looming, the family was pleased to move further away from London, moving to Hemel from Wanstead Park Road, Ilford. As so many feared the effects of bombing on London, some thought had been given to sending the children back to the family farm at Kinnego, County Armagh. However, in 1939 they settled at Little Heath Lodge in Felden. When war broke out, Edward Grayson soon joined the Home Guard which contained many men who had seen service in the First World War. This applied to Edward Grayson who had served in the Royal Flying Corps and then the Royal Air Force in 1917-1918.
