PFC. John W. " " Bradshaw Purple Heart

US Army 415th Infantry Regiment

from:McPherson County, Kansas

(d.25th Feb 1945)

I actually know little about John W. Bradshaw of the 415th Infantry Regiment, 104th Infantry Division. I have recently adopted his grave at the Henri-Chapelle cemetery in Belgium and I am trying to learn about this lost hero.

Little is known about him since his records were lost in the NARA fire of '73 but I am doing my best to find all I can about his life. I added him here, to this site, because I want his name to be recorded. He was "just" a soldier in the Second World War, but I think that alone is a reason to remember him. He was one of many that came to a country he had probably never heard of to fight for the freedom of its inhabitants. And I am forever grateful for the sacrifice that he, and many others like him, made.
