Gnr. Ephraim Henry Bradshaw
British Army 143 Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Dukinfield, Cheshire
My grandad, Harry Bradshaw, was presented with a silver cigarette case by Lady Haig during a visit to Bermondsey Military Hospital in 1918. It was this case that gave direction to my search. I always believed he'd been wounded at Ypres.
He's shown in one record as having enlisted on 8th December 1915 at Ashton under Lyne. We have a photo of him leaving Stockport for Gosport in 1916, but don't have more.
The record shows him as serving with 143 Heavy Battery, which would be in Salonika on discharge 1st of February 1919, when he was aged 33 years. This battery was in France in 1916.
He is also shown as being in 141 Heavy Battery, which comes up as East Ham Pals Battery in France in 1916.
