from:Tottenham, London

John Bray was the second brother to join the Royal Navy during World War 1. He served mainly on HMS Commonwealth. His elder brother, William, was the first to join just before the war. John and William's younger brother, Alfred, also joined up thinking he was going to sea but was put in the Royal Navy reserve and ended up in the trenches. All three brothers survived the war. Alfred was wounded at Pashendale and also lost toes due to frost bite. William the eldest brother unfortunately suffered a stab wound with a poisoned knife while ashore in Cape Town. He had to have his right arm amputated. As far as is known John Bray (nicknamed Jack) was unscathed.
