DEATH OF ANOTHER SHIPSTON SOLDIER - Mrs O. Bradley of Stratford Road has received the news that her eldest son Driver O. G. Bradley ASC has been killed in France. Driver Bradley who was only 21 at the time of his death volunteered in 1914 and he was a keen soldier, greatly respected and highly popular with both his officers and comrades, as several letters received by his mother testify. He was killed by shrapnel, death being instantaneous. The deepest sympathy is felt for Mrs Bradley and his other relatives.
