Seeking families of two Bradford soldiers linked by name | Bradford Telegraph and Argus

EMBROIDERED postcards and silk bookmarks were popular with First World War soldiers who often sent them home from the Front. These items became cherished keepsakes of sweethearts and families - even more treasured to those whose men never returned. David P Whithorn is President of Bus to Bradford - a group of City fans who research and commemorate former players who served in the 1914-18 war. The group takes its name from a village in northern France called Bus-les-Artois where many Bradford men were billeted before marching to the Somme. The village they called ‘Bus’ offered a last taste of leisure - a beer and card game in the estaminet and watching silent films on a screen set up in a barn - before marching to the battlefields.
