Do you know if this line was any relation to Alfred Bradley of Woodside, Bream's Eaves who was born about 1872. His father was William born 1826.
Alfreds daughter was Eliza Kate Bradley born about 1901 in Bream.

Please get in touch if you can help with my research.

Ἀριστοτέλης A Gloster Boy in the Forest of Dean ><((((*>

I have only just seen this thread for the first time which dates from long before I was using the forum, it's a pleasure to read the excellent work of Slowhands again.
It seems the pdf link he posted is now out of date, I suspect it referred to the same magazine article that may now be found here, in fact given the similar dates I wonder if Slowhands helped research it ?.

The whole magazine makes interesting reading, the article about Lewis starts at page 18.

RIP to a very brave "try-scoring machine" and Artillery Driver, Lewis Bradley.
