World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
L/Col. Frederick Hoysted Bradley DSO.
Royal Army Medical Corps 15th Field Ambulance
from:Belfast
(d.22th Sep 1918)
Frederick Hoysted Bradley.
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.
