Mjr. Swinfen Bramley-Moore MC.

British Army Army Service Corps

Afternoon Tea

After a civilian career designing and manufacturing motor-cars and motor-cycles, and writing an educational book "Motors in a Nut-shell", Swin Bramley-Moore worked for General Slumper to get the army motorised. Caught up in the BEF's famous retreat from Mons, with a forceful personality he won the Miltary Cross for taking charge of a bunch of leaderless retreating troops. His photographs tell their own story. At the end of the war he quelled a riot of troops impatient to be sent home, and then had to convalesce at an army hospital in the south of France. Unfortunately all WW1 officers records were destroyed in the blitz so only these first-hand scraps of information as told to me (his grandson) can be recorded.
