244232 Gnr. Louis David Bradshaw British Army 171st Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery 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.
