This is a photo of
Harold Bradshaw. He was also known as 'Pecker' Bradshaw. He was
the Battalion butcher and after the war had his own butchers shop in the
main street of Huntingdon which he kept until he retired and his son
Trevor took over. You can clearly see the 'Rampant stag' over the scroll
of 'Huntingdonshire' on his collar badge. |

Harold can be seen in the back row of the group [4th
from the left as viewed - with a mallet over his shoulder] standing
proud in front of a row of bell tents on the Yorkshire coast.

Harold was a keen boxer in the regiment and won prizes
for his art. There are several photos of him whilst he was boxing
and the one to the left is a typical of the set.
Harold is the one in the boxing gloves second from the left as viewed.

Harold is shown here on the far right as viewed sharpening a
butchers knife on a steel. He is standing behind the 'Nuttall Mintoes' box,
used as a 'cooks block'
in a posed photo whilst on coastal patrols on the Yorkshire coast. he was
in the 1/1st HCB.

right as viewed. |

These pictures were kindly supplied by
his son, Trevor, who kindly gave his permission for them to be used in
this project. The photos were a part of several items in the
collection that are featured on this site. Sadly, Trevor Bradshaw
died suddenly in 2000 and this page is dedicated in thanks to him for the
use of the photos in my project.
