Gnr. Ephraim Henry Bradshaw
British Army 143 Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Dukinfield, Cheshire
My grandad, Harry Bradshaw, was presented with a silver cigarette case by Lady Haig during a visit to Bermondsey Military Hospital in 1918. It was this case that gave direction to my search. I always believed he'd been wounded at Ypres.
He's shown in one record as having enlisted on 8th December 1915 at Ashton under Lyne. We have a photo of him leaving Stockport for Gosport in 1916, but don't have more. The record shows him as serving with 143 Heavy Battery, which would be in Salonika on discharge 1st of February 1919, when he was aged 33 years. This battery was in France in 1916. He is also shown as being in 141 Heavy Battery, which comes up as East Ham Pals Battery in France in 1916.
Ernest Bradshaw
British Army
from:53 Ortzen Street, Nottingham
I am trying to find all I can regarding my Grandfather, Ernest Bradshaw. I have no photo's and no history, only what I can remember of what my Grandmother told me in the 1950'S.perhaps he served with the Sherwood Foresters in The Great War?
Ernest was badly gassed in the conflicts and was returned to England to convalesce, he did not get any better and on doctors advise departed to Australia, for better health in 1919-20 but passed away at Royal North Shore Hospital Sydney on 15th June 1921, aged 37. He left my Grandmother at the time of the depression and my Father (aged 8) and his sister (aged 11) all alone. I think with all the hardship they had to face, was a big enough factor for them to return to England,of which they did. The year I am not sure.
My son emigrated to Australia some 8 years ago to Melbourne, so on a request we asked him to look into the possibility of finding Ernest for all the family. He flew to Sydney and went to the Archives in the City. He found out that Ernest was buried in The Field Of Mars cemetery north of Sydney. He was the first visitor to Ernest in probably 80 Years! A First World War Veteran, and we were so pleased to find him. My wife and I have since visited his grave side and are hoping to do so this coming year.
I never knew my Grandfather, me being now 66 and I would love to know a little bit more of Ernest before I expire. A Grandfather I never knew. Can anyone help?? Thank You

Sgt. Joe Bradshaw DCM.
British Army 11th Battalion East Lancashire Regiment
from:17 Hartley St, Church, Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire
Joe Bradshaw was my husband's grandfather and was revered as a legend in the family. He originally joined up in 1910 giving his name as Jack Bradshaw, and re-enlisted at the start of the war. He appears to have been in Egypt when he was awarded the D.C.M., and I have yet to find out the reason for the award. I am not sure whether the family actually knew as he was a very self-effacing man, so much so that on hearing that the Accrington town dignitaries and population were waiting to greet him on is return when it became known of his medal, he got off the train at the station before so avoid the fuss. If anyone knows how I can find details of the reason for the award I would be most grateful.

from:Witham, Essex
(d.28th Oct 1917)
Grandpa, Louis Bradshaw died waiting to come home on leave at 15.10 hrs. I remember seeing his watch stopped at the exact moment after it was returned to my grandmother. I found myself living in France many years later and came looking for him out of curiosity. We looked in several cemeteries but it quickly became apparent it was a hopeless task without consulting the CWGC which was shut. We were heading back to France tired and disappointed when something made me try one last cemetery. There he was. So tomorrow is the centenary of his death and we are here in Ypres with a bottle of Essex beer for him. He'll be our guest of honour at the restaurant tomorrow. Sadly his place will remain vacant.
