Anthony Frederick Gray, Lieutenant Cambridgeshire Regiment
Anthony Gray was not a Jesus student, but the youngest of six sons of the Master, Arthur Gray.
Killed in action, 26 August 1918
He would have therefore been well known about the College. Arthur Gray’s predecessor as Master, Dr H.A. Morgan and his wife had 5 daughters and 1 son (Conway, who was also killed in action). At the time Gray was Senior Tutor, so the two families often put on amateur theatricals together.
Anthony was a student at Magdalene College, Cambridge and had recently graduated when war broke out in 1914. His intention was to become a clergyman and he had just entered Cheshunt Theological College (Cambridge Press and News 18 September 1918)
He was a well-known figure in various Cambridge Churches, including All Saints Church in Jesus Lane, where he is remembered on the War Memorial.
