Royal Linconshire Regiment (d.24th Aug 1914) Alfred Bradley had a tattoo of St George and the dragon on his chest. His hobby was boxing and his sparring partner was Billy Wells (the strong man who hit the gong in Rank film introduction). He was known for being friendly, practical, independent and liking country cottages. Alfred ran away from home to join the British Army because he didn't get on with his stepfather Mr Hooper. Served in the Army in India 1898 - 1902; 1903 South Africa (burying the dead after the Boer War); 1904- 1910 India. Returned to England as a reserve and got work as a motor tyre repairer. He was married on 25th of Dec 1912 to Ada Hunt and thier son Alf was born in Sept 1913. The 1st Lincolnshire Regiment was part of the 9th Brigade, 3rd Division. The Division left by sea on the SS Norman on 13 August 1914, for France, part of the original British Expeditionary Force. They disembarked at Le Havre on 14th August 1914. They marched to Mons where they fought their first action on the 23rd but had to break off their engagement on the 24th and join what was a general retreat. On 24 August in Frameries they acted as a rearguard for the withdrawal of 9th Brigade. The 24 August 1914 is believed to be the day that Alf Bradley died further to engaging the German forces. The partial map of Frameries showing burial places of the English soldiers incl Pte Bradley. He died along with about 40 others the same day. The army records his death as taking place at Marne on 8th Sept 1914 but friend and locals say he was killed on the 24th of August. A friend saw him buried in a garden by local peasants then. Local people made a map in 1915 which showed where the British soldiers were buried. In 1918 he was reburied by the army at Bezu-le-Guery communal cemetery near Chateau Thierry in a shared grave with other soldiers killed at around the same time. The date of death on the memorial stone is 8th Sept 1914, but the date of death on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission records signed as checked in 1921 (after earlier versions of the document had been variously amended) record that this was a reburial from another place. The confusion about dates reflects the fast pace of action and loss at the time. It's known that Alf's regiment fought in Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien's delaying action at Le Cateau and then joined the rest of the British Army as they fell back to the Marne Valley. On the night of the 7th of September 1914 the 1st Lincolns were in billets at the village of La Bretonniere which they left at 6am the following morning. At around 10.30am they had stopped to rest in a field near Bezu when their Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Smith, received a message from Brigade informing him that 'a German battery was doing serious damage by shelling our column approaching the Marne.' Captain Drake, along with C and D Companies, worked their way through the woods to the west of Bezu and crept to within 150 yards of the guns before rushing forward and shooting down the German gunners and their escort almost to a man. When they dashed out of the thicket to secure the guns they were spotted by the 65th (Howitzer) Battery Royal Artillery who mistook them for Germans and opened fire on them. They were forced to seek cover and this burst of "friendly fire" cost the Lincolns casualties of one officer killed with three wounded and some thirty other ranks killed or wounded. Robert Drake was one of the officers wounded but he died later the same day. This action tends to explain the choice of cemetery for the deaths in Bezu and those of the members of the regiment who had died in Frameries only days earlier.

(d.18th October 1918) Theodore Hardy was appointed Chaplain to His Majesty, on 17th Sept., 1918. He died 18th October 1918 and is buried in the St Sever Cemetery Extension. An extract from the London Gazette, No. 30790, dated 9th July, 1918, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on many occasions. Although over 50 years of age, he has, by his fearlessness, devotion to men of his battalion, and quiet unobtrusive manner, won the respect and admiration of the whole division. His marvellous energy and endurance would be remarkable even in a very much younger man, and his valour and devotion are exemplified in the following incidents: An infantry patrol had gone out to attack a previously located enemy post in the ruins of a village, the Reverend Theodore Bailey Hardy (C.F.) being then at company headquarters. Hearing firing, he followed the patrol, and about four hundred yards beyond our front line of posts found an officer of the patrol dangerously wounded. He remained with the officer until he was able to get assistance to bring him in. During this time there was a great deal of firing, and an enemy patrol actually penetrated between the spot at which the officer was lying and our front line and captured three of our men. On a second occasion when an enemy shell exploded in the middle of one of our posts, the Reverend T. B. Hardy at once made his way to the spot, despite the shell and trench mortar fire which was going on at the time, and set to work to extricate the buried men. He succeeded in getting out one man who had been completely buried. He then set to work to extricate a second man, who was found to be dead. During the whole of the time that he was digging out the men this chaplain was in great danger, not only from shell fire, but also because of the dangerous condition of the wall of the building which had been hit by the shell which buried the men. On a third occasion he displayed the greatest devotion to duty when our infantry, after a successful attack, were gradually forced back to their starting trench. After it was believed that all our men had withdrawn from the wood, Chaplain Hardy came out of it, and on reaching an advanced post asked the men to help him to get in a wounded man. Accompanied by a Serjeant he made his way to the spot where the man lay, within ten yards of a pill-box which had been captured in the morning, but was subsequently re-captured and occupied by the enemy. The wounded man was too weak to stand, but between them the chaplain and the Serjeant eventually succeeded in getting him to our lines. Throughout the day the enemy's artillery, machine-gun and trench mortar fire was continuous, and caused many casualties. Notwithstanding, this very gallant chaplain was seen moving quietly amongst the men and tending the wounded, absolutely regardless of his personal safety." s flynn Add to this record. 1206552 2nd Lt. John Eliott Lavender 10th Btn. Lincolnshire Regiment (d.28 April 1917) John Eliott Lavender, known as Jack, was born in Penistone in 1895 whilst the family were living on Sheffield Road.

He arrived in France on the 13th July 1915 serving first as a Corporal and then as a Sergeant. Jack was commissioned in the Lincolnshire Regiment on 6th February 1917 serving with the 10th battalion the Grimsby Chums. Jack is mentioned in the battalion war diary on the 25th April 1917 ‘Night of 25 – 26 furnished a working party of 200 men under 4 officers, 2nd Lt Lavender found 1 off and 1 Pte of the 4th Seaforths wounded in front of our line near MI Pleasant Wood. They had been lying out since attack of 23rd Casualties hit.’ Whilst on home leave in 1916, Jack and Edith conceived a child. Unfortunately, Jack was killed on 28th April 1917 at the Battle of Arleux, and never met his son John, who was born on 1st June 1917. Jacks body was never recovered. In 1924, the Commanding Officer of the Battalion, Lieutenant-Colonel Vignoles wrote back to Edith , who had written to Mr Cox, the secretary of the 10th Lincolnshire association, asking for information on her husbands death. ”My own view is that your husband, with many others, was killed that day, buried by the subsequent heavy shelling. ” Jack's son grew up intensely proud of his father despite never meeting him. Jacks widow did marry again but grieved for her first husband until the day she died. Jack is remembered on the Arras Memorial.
