G. S. Graham-Smith was born on 25 September 1875, the son of a colonel in the Indian Army. He expressed a wish, during his life-time and in his Will, that no obituary notices should be published about him, because so few of those with whom he was intimately associated during the most active period of his working life now remain. It has, nevertheless, seemed proper to submit the following account of him, because many friends and students and some contributors or subscribers to the Journal who knew him only as editor, will wish to see such details of his life and work recorded.
