Pte. Alfred Bradley MM

from:Lumb Rossendale, Lancashire
(d.6th June 1917)
Son of Thomas and Eva Emma Bradley. Buried in grave 1.C.13 in St Martin Calvaire British Cemetery, in the Pas De Calais area.
His brother James, served with Kings Own Scottish Borderers 1/5 Bn and was killed in Egypt on 04/08/1916.
Their mother, my maternal Great Grandmother, Eva, had died in 1913, so was unaware of the loss of two sons. My Grandfather, Thomas Bradley, Alfred and James's brother was exempted from service due to their deaths.
My mother, nee Beryl Bradley, their niece, was delighted to have visited Alfred' grave prior to her death.
The Military Medal, won by Alfred, was given to one of his older sisters, Ada, but has not been located since.
