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

 

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.
