I'm currently building up information on 6th Cheshires and "found" Arthur Bradley as part of the research.

There is some confusion in his pension file with some pages suggesting that all of his service was with the 6th Battalion. Another page indicates he was with the 13th Battalion and I have information suggesting that he had transferred to them only a week before he was severely wounded on 1 August 1916. The 6th was not in action on 1/8. As indicated, he received a GSW to his spine which left him as a paraplegic.
