WALTER S. BRADLEY

Walter was born in Stroud Green in 1884.   In 1916 in he lived at 94 Seymour Road on Harringay Ladder in Hornsey and was a Shop Manager for an artists’ colourman’s business.   His wife was Bessie but it is not known if they had any children.

Although he lived in Hornsey the Pearce Register records that his appeal against the decision of a Local Tribunal not to grant him an exemption from military service as a conscientious objector was considerd by the London County Appeal Tribunal, and not the Middlesex Appeal Tribunal. This would suggest that he did not appear before the Hornsey Military Service Tribunal, but at a local tribunal in one of the metropolitan Boroughs of London, probably where he worked.

It is likely that the Appeal Tribunal gave him exemption from combatant service because he was allocated work by the Pelham Committee as a farm labourer at Ampthill in Buckinghamshire, where he remained from 31.7.16 to 11.10.17.

We know nothing further of Walter at the moment!
