the mole. In the full glare of search
lights and star shells he leaped to
the parapet of the mole and sat
astride it. trying to get the planks
into place Many machineguns were
sweeping the parapet, and it was only
a few seconds until he was shot dead.
Mrs. Bradford's most noted son
was Brigadier- General Bradford the
youngest general in the British army
He had won the Victori2 cross for
extreme bravery and became a gen.
eral at the age of twenty four. He
was killed shortly after making a
speech to his men just before they
attacked The speech has been
printed in every allied language.
Another son, an army lieutenant
also was killed in France. He held
the military cross, a decoration won
through bravery.
Captain Bradford, who has been
made a member of the distinguished
Service order in recognition of his
services, is still in France. He is
the widows last boy.
