Greive served in the First World War as a lance corporal in the Lothians and Border Horse. He was wounded in action at Siege Farm near Kemmel on 17 July 1916, when a German shell stuck the observers' building which he was in and subsequently set it alight. He was recovered from the burning building, but succumbed to his wounds shortly after. He was buried in the Bailleul Communal Cemetery. Both of his brothers, John and Walter, played first-class cricket; Walter was killed in action in 1917, while John survived the war and later became president of the Scottish Cricket Union. (en) |
