The son of Hugh Malcolm Kirkwood Gracey, a soldier in the British Indian Army, and Elsie Marian Bosworth, he was born in British India at Bannu in December 1921. He was educated in England at Wellington College.[1] Gracey served in the Second World War with the Royal Engineers, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in June 1942.

Returning to England after the war, he went up to Brasenose College, Oxford as a Heath Harrison Exhibitioner in 1946.[3] While studying at Oxford, he was awarded blues in golf and hockey,[1] and made four appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University, playing three matches in 1947 and a single match in 1948.[2] He scored 176 runs in first-class cricket, with his highest score of 61 coming for the Europeans.[4] He was later a member of the Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers.[5] Gracey died at Rye in September 2006.[6]
