World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Arthur Edward Bradley
British Army 9th Battalion Dorset Regiment
from:Broadlayings, Woolton Hill, Newbury, Berkshire
(d.8th Oct 1918)
Arthur Edward Bradley was my uncle, the eldest son of Frank and Ellen Bradley. He was born on 11th September 1891, one of seven siblings. He worked as a domestic gardener prior to the war. He served in the 9th Battalion of the Dorsetshire Regiment and during the war must have had some leave because on 16th September 1916 he married Florence Sims in Kintbury. When the war ended my grandmother had certain possessions belonging to Arthur returned to her. His wife, Florence went into Newbury to meet every troop train but of course he was never on any of them. I gather it was many weeks after the war that the family had confirmation that he had been killed on 8th October 1918.
He is buried in Bellicourt british Cemetery in France and his name is on two War Memorials, one at St. Thomas' Church, Woolton Hill and the other at St. Mary's Church, Kintbury. He has always been very much remembered, and in fact still is, by past and present members of the Bradley Family.
2Lt. Arthur Bradley MM.
British Army 6th Btn. Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
from:Westfield House, Morley
(d.24th August 1917)
Arthur Bradley was a pre-war Territorial. From his address, and the 1917 6-digit number, he was most likely in 1/4th Battalion. His Medal Index Card shows he disembarked in France 13th of April 1915, so was with 148th Brigade. He was a Lance Corporal, but was soon promoted to Sergeant. He was awarded the Military Medal in 1916. He was recommended for a commission, to which he was discharged 29th of June 1917. He was posted to 6th Battalion, KOYLI and was killed in action at the Menin Road 24th of August 1917.

Trimmer. Bruce Bradley
Merchant Navy HMHS Liandovey Castle
from:Burnley, Lancashire
(d.18th March 1918)
Bruce Bradley drowned on HMHS Liandovey Castle on the 18th of March 1918, aged 37. He is commemorated on The Tower Hill Memorial in London and was the son of the late John and Margaret Ann Bradley. Born at Gargrave, Skipton, he lived at 2 Layfield Street, Burnley, Lancashire.
Charles Henry Bradley
British Army West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Holbeck, Leeds
My Grandfather, Charles Bradley married my Grandmother, Emily in 1912 in Leeds. They had one daughter, my mother, Marjorie, born posthumously. Charles died at the beginning of March 1920 and my mum was born the end of March, so he never got to see her. She only ever knew her stepfather, when my Gran remarried 5 years later.
I am trying to find out about Charles, my mum did have a photo but it was destroyed when she died, to my great regret. I am not sure if he received a medal or not, I have tried researching him but the facts do not seem to tie in as at that time he was married, I have the wedding certificate. I think this is such a sad story, one of thousands. All I know is he was born in Bradford,in 1887, but moved to Leeds when young.
L/Cpl. David Bradley

Dvr. Ernest Bradley
British Army 33 Brigade, 8th Division Royal Field Artillery
from:South Elmsall, Pontefract, West Yorkshire
I have been searching for a photograph of my Grandfather, Ernest Bradley for over 40 years. He was born in Skipton Yorkshire and in 1913 he moved to South Elmsall, Pontefract, West Yorkshire where he married my grandmother Mary Jane Crofts in 1914, and where my father was born in 1916. My Grandfather was a hairdresser and owned his own shop in the village, prior to joining the Royal Field Artillery at Newcastle upon Tyne on the 19th December 1915.
On 13th January 1916 he was posted to No1 Reserve Brigade and later appointed Acting Bombardier.
On 17th January 1917 he was posted with the British Expeditionary Forces to France where he served with the 33 Brigade RFA part of the 8th Division and to part in the 3rd Battle of Ypres 1917, 1st Battle of the Somme 1918 and 2nd Battle of Arras 1918 and at some point suffered injuries from mustard gas, he received treatment and reverted back to driver. Finally discharged on Demobilization 9th August 1919. He returned home and continued he hairdressing career in South Elmsall and Leeds, where he died 10 years later 31st December 1929.
I would be very grateful if anyone could provide me more information regarding the 33rd Brigade and 8th Division and if possible any photographs.

L/Col. Frederick Hoysted Bradley DSO.
Royal Army Medical Corps 15th Field Ambulance
from:Belfast
(d.22th Sep 1918)
Fred Bradley, my great uncle, became a doctor in 1905 and joined the Regular Army. He was sent to France in September 1914 attached to the 15th Field Ambulance which he later commanded; there he met his friend Campbell McCormack, another Ulsterman who had arrived in France in August of '14. They served with the Ambulance throughout the War.
The history is recorded well on this site. Fred won a DSO and Campbell won an MC and 2 bars for retrieving injured under fire. They were killed together by the same shell as they rested in a billet. This happened in Bus near Barrastre in front of Baupaume on 22 Sept 1918; both were married men, Fred a widower: these friends are buried together and they are not forgotten. RIP
In 2012 I met with Campbell's great nephew whom I did not know previously: this was an evocative meeting and the lads would have enjoyed that.
