In 1917, he was gassed and wounded at Vimy Ridge. His age was discovered and he was discharged.

He was sent home to Vancouver, but caught Spanish Flu and died on Boxing Day 1918 - aged 16.

Today, I’m remembering one of the names on the Port Coquitlam cenotaph - Herbert Bradley.

He was born in Dover in 1902 and emigrated to Canada with his family when he was 9. He lied about his age and enlisted in 1916, when he was just 14.
