807474 Sgt Leslie Rupert BRADES, Royal Artillery: 12/07/1941

Hi All,

In Windsor Berkshire cemetery there is a grave with two servicemen interred. One is LAC C F Brades who I have the loss details, the other is Sgt L R Brades R.A lost 12 July 1941. I would appreciate details of this loss if possible, also I believe they were brothers, can this be confirmed also?

Thank you, Peter

 

Looked them up on CWGC.
They have the same parents.

Arthur and Florence Brades, of Windsor

Thank you Owen.
Any details of L R. Brades loss?

 

Casualty List shows L R Brades, 3 Field Training Regt, died as a result of an accident. According to Schools & Training Establishments - The Royal Artillery 1939-45 3 Field Training Regt were at Brockhurst, Hampshire.

Here's Leslie Brades Attestation from 1930/1. Interesting as he must have originally enlisted when he was 15/16. I presume, as the reference is to TARs, that this would have been into the TA.
