Pte. Walter Brady
British Army 1/4th Battalion, A Company East Yorkshire Regiment
from:2 Cheapside, Groves, Hull
(d.3rd May 1915)
News has been received by Mrs Brady, of 2 Cheapside Groves, Hull confirming the report that her son, Private Walter Brady, was killed in action near St, Julien on 3rd of May. The deceased, prior to enlistment. worked at Messrs. Sanderson's paint works, where he was highly respected. Captain Harold Jackson of A Company 4th East Yorks says, in a letter to Mr Brady, says He died like the gallant soldier he was . . . . We all sympathise with you deeply in your sad loss, and trust the fact that he died fighting hard for his country and for the protection of you all at home may mitigate your sorrow to some extent. If If we could only make the people, at home realise, the misery caused by the German invasion of this poor country, they would appreciate much more the sacrifice that men like your brother has made in order to beat the Germans here and keep them out of our land. Harold B. Jackson, Captain.
Pte. William Brady
British Army 11th Btn. South Lancashire Regiment
from:Altrincham, Cheshire
(d.25th Jun 1917)
William Brady was born in Dublin and enlisted at Prescot, Lancs. He died of wounds.
Update: An Internet search suggests William Brady was born in 1898 in Altrincham. His parents were John Finton Brady and Ellen Mary Brady. His father was born in Dublin as was his elder brother but his younger siblings were all born at Altrincham. On the 1911 census the family were living at 2 Chorltons Cottages, George Street, Altrincham, Warrington. His brothers and sisters are listed: John 10, Francis 1, Mary 9, Ellen 6, Patrick 3. From Ancestry service records we see that William was training to be an engineer. He is described as an improver in the iron trade when he enlisted on 12th of July 1915; this was 10 days after his 19th birthday. We learned that his religion was Roman Catholic and that he was 5'3" tall. William was also wounded in 1916, but returned to the front after he was discharged from hospital.
He died of wounds in 1917 and he is buried in Belgium at Lijssenthoek Cemetery, Poperinge. He is also remembered on the town Memorial in Altrincham.

Pte. Sidney Harold Brailey
British Army 6th Battalion Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment
from:Yeovil, Somerset
My father,Harold Brailey, enlisted at Ashford in 1915, in the 6th Battalion, Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment.
In October or November 1917 he was defending a hill overlooking the Schelt Canal near Cambrai, where tanks were first used. When the Germans counterattacked he was shot in the leg and taken prisoner. He had mentioned being in a place called Dulmen but his letters came from Friedrichsfelt, so perhaps he was at the former place only temporarily. He was very dependent on food parcels and 4kg loaves of bread from the Red Cross.
He returned home in January 1919. Although the German soldiers were also short of food, he said that their Red Cross parcels were always delivered complete and untouched.
Pte. Albert Brain
British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Calthorpe Street, Banbury
(d.21st Nov 1914)
Albert enlisted in the Royal Warwickshire regiment at Coventry whilst living in Banbury. The date of enlistment is not known but the 1911 census records taken on Sun 2nd April 1911 show that he was then serving overseas in Bombay with the 1st Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire regiment. The 1st battalion sailed for England on December 11th 1912 arriving there on 2nd Jan 1913. It was then based at Shorncliffe, near Folkestone. The battalion was in the 10th Brigade 4th Division.
On 8th Aug 1914 the battalion travelled by train to Yorkshire (to assist in countering any threatened German invasion). From Yorkshire it moved to Southampton. On 22nd August the battalion sailed on the SS Caledonian disembarking at Boulogne on 23rd August.
Sadly, Albert was killed on 21st November 1914 whilst serving with “A†Company of the 2nd battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and he is commemorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial in Belgium. Albert’s death certificate states that he was ‘Presumed Killed In Action’. The certificate also states his rank as Lance Corporal. Therefore, sometime between 21st January 1913 (when the First Battalion arrived back in England) and 21st Nov 1914 Albert transferred from the First Battalion to the Second Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
The Second Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire regiment was in Litchfield from 1908-1911. Then for a short time at Shornciffe then Portland until it sailed for Malta on December 22nd 1912. It remained in Malta until 19th August 1914 when it left for England landing there on September 19th 1914. Based in Lyndhurst the battalion was then attached to the 22nd Brigade 7th Division and the battalion subsequently left for Flanders landing at Zeebrugge on 6th October 1914.
Unfortunately the true manner of Albert’s death is unlikely to ever be known but it is very probable that he was killed whilst the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Warwicks was being relieved by the 2/Queens (Royal West Kent) Battalion.
Pte. Albert Edward Brain
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Warwickshire
from:Banbury, Oxon
(d.21st Nov 1914)
Albert enlisted in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment at Coventry whilst living in Banbury. The date of enlistment is not known but the 1911 census records taken on Sun 2nd April 1911 shows that he was then serving overseas in Bombay, India with the First Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
The 1st Battalion sailed for England on December 11th 1912 arriving there on 2nd Jan 1913. It was then based at Shorncliffe, near Folkestone. The battalion was in the 10th Brigade 4th Division. It is probably safe to assume that Albert was transferred to the 2nd Battalion at some time on or after 6th October 1914 the date when the Second Battalion landed in France. So Albert was possibly with the First Battalion in France from 23rd August to 6th October. We cannot, of course, be certain of this since, for some reason, he may have stayed behind in England and did not travel to France with the First Battalion but travelled with the Second Battalion from England. It is possible to ascertain the events leading up to Albert’s death on 21st November 1914 from the 2nd battalion’s war diaries. The 2nd Battalion was not engaged in an actual battle i.e. major offensive at this time. It had been withdrawn from the Ypres Salient on 7th November before the First Ypres Battle ended on November 17th 1914. Trench warfare then took over. On the 10th Nov the Battalion was in Bailleul. On the 11th to 12th Nov it was in Merris. Four hundred and eight new drafts arrived during the stay at Merris. We cannot tell if Albert was one of these.
On the 15th to 20th Nov they were in trenches at La Boutillerie near Fleurbaix. On the 20th Nov the Battalion was relieved by the 2/Queens (Royal West Kent) Battalion. It then marched to billets at Rue de Bataille in Fleurbaix.
Another draft of 98 OR’s under Lt B. Bernard joined on that day, presumably, whilst in the billets. The Battalion remained here up to the 23rd Nov when it returned to the trenches near Fleuraix. So, curiously, it appears that the Battalion was in billets on 21st November 1914 when Albert died. What is known is that the relief of a regiment/battalion usually took place overnight, for obvious reasons. They were often protracted affairs, consequently, this relief could have spilled into the early hours of the 21st November. The 2/Queen’s war diary states that they started to enter the trenches at 4.45 pm on the 20th. Men were put at risk as they were leaving the front line. It was likely, therefore, that Albert was killed during the relief of the battalion. Albert is commeorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial.
Cpl. Arthur Brain DMC
British Army 1/5th Btn. Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

L/Cpl. David Brain
British Army 9th Btn. Sherwood Foresters
from:Derby
David Brain volunteered in 1914. He was a sniper, landing with first wave at Suvla Bay to cover landings and evacuating with the last of the rearguard. Mostly his duties were shooting out resistors on the telegraph line along the ridge behind Turkish lines. During service in Egypt, he was briefly attached to the Camel Corps. He found riding camels most uncomfortable. Thence to the Somme, on counter sniper work in no man's land.
On 23rd of September 1916 he took out a German sniper who had been causing a spot of bother, after spending 3 days in a prepared location in a crater covering one of the firing points the enemy sniper swapped between. He went in with his bayonet fixed to finish him off. He found the enemy very severely wounded. He had shot at the muzzle flash, and his bullet had travelled along the length of the K98, tearing up most of the enemy's right shoulder, forearm and wrist. As the enemy sniper was now maimed for life, he stuck the shattered K98 up above the crater and summoned a German stretcher party. He figured valuable enemy resources would be used treating him, while otherwise he'd be just listed as missing in the mud of no man's land. No one on either side knew they were there. Well, that was his excuse when given a rocketing for not just letting his opponent live, but also using his field dressing on anyone but himself. Maybe there was something of "There but for the Grace of God go I" too. It could easily have gone the other way in such a duel.
In 1917 and again on sniper work in no man's land he was shot at by hostile aircraft strafing trenches and positions. He was hidden from ground observers, but not from the air. He was gassed but recovered. David was severely injured at Polygon Wood, this time some of his right arm was blown off by a shell, with shrapnel all through his body. He was evacuated to Blighty, spending over a year in a military hospital recovering from wounds till early 1919.
Cpl. George Brain
British Army 10th Battalion Notts and Derby Regiment
from:Tollerton
(d.22nd Mar 1918)
George started his overseas service on 31st Dec 1915 in the Balkans in Gallipoli with 9th Battalion Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment). Believed to have joined the regiment at Imbos. In early 1916 whilst on leave in Egypt he met up with his brother Harry Brain of the Queens Own Oxfordshire Hussars. A family photograph records this event. (Harry on left George on right)
By July 1916 the 9th battalion was in France as was the 10th Battalion. At some time between July 1916 and March 1918 George transferred to the 10th Battalion.
George was killed on 22nd March 1918 and is commemorated on the Arras Memorial. On the day of his death the battalion was at Hermies retreating from the Germans and was probably caught by machine gun fire as his unit passed along the Havrincourt/Bertincourt valley. George is also commemorated on the Tollerton, Notts village war memorial.
Sgt. George Edward Brain MM.
British Army 282nd Brigade, D Bty. Royal Field Artillery
from:Newcastle-upon-Tyne
(d.4th July 1917)
Private Henry Edward Brain
British Army D Squadron Queens Own Oxfordshire Hussars
from:Calthorpe Street, Banbury, Oxon
Harry Brain enlisted in the Queens Own Oxfordshire Hussars in 1910 yet his war service started on 20th April 1915 when he landed in Egypt whilst attached to the Corps of Hussars. He had a younger brother Albert who was sadly killed on 21st November 1914 whilst serving with the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. Harry returned from Egypt some time in 1916 as he is recorded as joining the QOOH in April 1916.The QOOH was split into 3 line units. The 1/1st, which went to France, and the 2/1st and 3/1st which remained in the UK. He must have been attached to the 2/1st or 3/1st unit at this time. The Yeomanry 2nd and 3rd line units were constantly called on to provide drafts for overseas reinforcements and, in fact, all fit officers and men were eventually posted abroad. This must have happened to Harry when he went to France in December 1916. The regiment was in Vaulx in France in December 1916. The regiment served in Arras, Gillemont Farm and Cambrai areas during the period that Harry was with them.
Harry’s service ended on 23rd March 1918 when he was wounded East of Noyon in the Battle of St Quentin during the Kaiserschlacht, Germany’s last great gamble to win the war. His son, my father (Bill) told me that Harry was wounded in the leg and the bullet was never removed. The Battle of St Quentin was a costly one for the QOOH. 4 officers were wounded, 19 OR’s (Other Ranks) killed or died of wounds and 46 OR’s wounded. Harry’s movements after being wounded are not known. What is known is that there was a Casualty Clearing Station (C.C.S No.46) in Noyon from 4th February 1918 to 28th March 1918). He may have passed through this C.C.S. Also, for part of his treatment he was in a military hospital in Grimsbury in Banbury. Harry was discharged from service on 22nd February 1919

VAD. Braithwaite
Voluntary Aid Detachment No. 32 Stationary Hospital
Pte. Cecil James Braithwaite
New Zealand Expeditionary Force 2nd Btn. Otago Regiment
from:New Zealand
(d.29th Oct 1916)
Jack Braithwaite served with the Otago Regiment 2nd Battalion, part of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. He was executed for mutiny on 29th October 1916 and is buried in St Sever Cemetery Extension, Rouen, France.
Prior to the war, Brithwaite had worked as a journalist in Australia. After being incarcerated for repeatedly being AWOL, he was accused of instigating a prison riot, although he claimed that he only involved himself in an attempt to calm it. Jack Braithwaite was a New Zealander whose plea in mitigation against his sentence stated that he was not a born soldier, just a Bohemian journalist who had answered the call to arms but 'had made a serious mess of things, and where I came to win honour and glory, I have won only shame, dishonour and everlasting disgrace...'
I decided to try to find out more about Braithwaite and contacted Elizabeth Morey, Convenor of the New Zealand branch of the WFA. She agreed to help and recently sent me his records from the NZ Army files and also notes written for the dictionary of New Zealand Biography by Ian McGibbon, Senior Military Historian at the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. What follows is entirely due to her efforts and my grateful thanks go to Elizabeth and Ian McGibbon.
Jack was certainly a complex character and his background was also extremely complex. Born in Dunedin on 4th January 1885 (the birth was not registered until 1890) and christened Cecil James, he was one of the sixteen children of a bookseller, Joseph Braithwaite, a later mayor of Dunedin. Even his name and birth date are not straightforward as in his first attestation form he gave his birth date as 3rd January 1882 but this is not possible as his brother Joseph was born on 1st July 1881.
In his second attestation in November 1915 he declared that his first name was John (and gave his birth date as 1883) but there is no record of a John Braithwaite being born or going to school at the appropriate time. As one of his younger brothers was John Rewi, born 12 years later than Jack, it is unlikely that there would have been an earlier child of this name in the family. Ian McGibbon suggests that there could be reasons for the discrepancies, possibly that there might have been a criminal conviction or a deserted wife and that he was trying to cover his trail. For some reason, presumably at his own insistence, his name was not listed among those who had passed their medical examination in May 1915. Interestingly his younger brother, Eric, also tried to sign on under an assumed name and gave different birth dates in his two attestations.
Jack left Dunedin for Trentham Military Camp at the end of May 1915 and in February 1916 he was in Egypt, France with the 2nd Battalion, Otago Infantry Regiment, and was promoted to Lance Corporal. He arrived in April. At the front Jack did not conduct himself well. In May 1916 he went absent without leave and this cost him his stripes; this did not seem to worry him, 'let duty and soldiering go to hell' was his alleged remark. His only service in the trenches, from 14th to 22nd May, ended when he again left his unit without permission having attempted to use a false leave pass when apprehended, and was sentenced to sixty days field punishment. He made a bad situation worse when on 7th July he escaped from confinement and was sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard labour. An indication of how little he was regarded as a soldier is shown by the fact that his uncle, Brigadier W. Braithwaite, recommended that he be committed to prison and sent back to New Zealand as a prisoner at the earliest opportunity'. But he tried to escape again while being transferred to the British Army's Blargies North military prison near Abancourt, where he was taken on 31st July; the punishment for this second offence was to be served concurrently.
At the end of August 1916 Jack was involved in an incident in which an Australian prisoner, Pte. A. Little, was resisting arrest by a military policeman. The prisoner had been on a work detail outside the compound earlier in the day and apparently a lack of hot water in what is described as the vapour bath (a shower?) had caused the trouble. A crowd of about thirty unruly Australian and New Zealand inmates joined in and Jack, who was mess orderly, tried to give the prisoner his lunch. He made a grave mistake, as the trouble developed, of leading the prisoner away to his tent, claiming that he was attempting to pacify the situation but instead it served to single him out as one of the principal offenders. There was mutual antipathy between the Australasian and the military police, the hated red caps', and it was this that almost certainly lay at the heart of the affair.
On 11th October 1916 he found himself facing his fourth court martial charged with three Australians with the crime of mutiny. He put forward a plausible defence, which was corroborated by defence witnesses but was found guilty and sentenced to death. In passing the papers to the Judge Advocate-General at GHQ on 17 October, the Inspector General of Communications, Lt. General Sir F .T. Clayton, drew attention to the fact that the evidence submitted might be considered to bear out Jack's version. Although the Australians received similar sentences they were not in danger of being shot because of their government's prohibition on executions without reference to Australia. No such reservation had been made by the New Zealand government and so Braithwaite's sentence was duly confirmed by the Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, on 25th October. According to the law, a soldier accused of mutiny need not have taken an active part to be guilty; if he was present and did not use his utmost endeavours to suppress the mutiny he was, in law, equally guilty with those who took an active part. Only 12 days before the incident in which Braithwaite was involved another mutiny had occurred at the prison among Scottish prisoners. Seven stood trial and six were sentenced to death but only one, Gunner W. Lewis, was eventually executed. In their defence the prisoners said that the Australians seemed to get preferential treatment, pointing out that they had been able to refuse work until their complaints had been considered. But the authorities' apparent acquiescence in the Australian behaviour was probably influenced by the realisation that they had little in the way of sanctions to apply in the absence of the death penalty.
Disciplinary problems within the prison and Jack's undoubted poor service record must have removed any inclination towards clemency. There was no requirement for the case to be reviewed by any New Zealand officer and he had no practicable avenue of appeal against conviction and sentence which he learned of on 27th or 28th October. By contrast the Australians had their sentences commuted to two years hard labour. Jack Braithwaite was shot at 6.05 a.m. on 29th October 1916 by a firing squad at Rouen, being one of only five New Zealanders executed for military offences during World War I, and the only one not put to death by his countrymen.
Poor Jack. He seems to have been somebody who was totally unsuited to become a soldier and perhaps left to himself, and without the patriotic fervour sweeping Britain and the Empire in 1915, he would not have enlisted. He was unable to accept military discipline and acted in a foolhardy, perhaps stupid, manner and was dealt with firmly by the authorities. In his final, fatal, brush with military law he found himself cast in the role of a sacrificial victim. It would seem that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and his luck had run out. In his last hours how much he must have wished he had stayed in Dunedin as a 'Bohemian' journalist.
One day I hope to visit St. Sever cemetery because I think he deserves at least to have one small cross on his grave; after nearly a century all his wrongs can be forgiven.

John Braithwaite
New Zealand Expeditionary Force 2nd Btn. Otago Regiment
from:New Zealand
(d.29th Oct 1916)
Prior to the war John Braithwaite had worked as a journalist in Australia. After being incarcerated for repeatedly being AWOL, he was accused of instigating a prison riot, although he claimed that he only involved himself in an attempt to calm it. At 0605 on 29 October 1916 Braithwaite was shot by a firing squad at Rouen for mutiny. He was posthumously pardoned on 14 September 2000, when New Zealand's Pardon for Soldiers of the Great War Act became law.
