History
Graham Roome was born on 30 January 1896 in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to George N. Roome and Florence A. Graham. He was working as a commercial traveller in 1916 when he joined the Halifax No. 10 Siege Battery and went overseas. In 1918 he was discharged and commissioned as a flight cadet in the RAF. The war ended shortly after and he returned to Halifax, where he worked as an engineer and married Annie Belle Hollett.
