This man is listed on Buchlyvie Civic Memorial, see: http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=799&highlight=buchlyvie

I can't identify him - can anyone help?

That's very frustrating that there is nothing more to go on. I wonder if his family had land in the area and he wasn't a local?

It's not a common name in Scotland. I wonder if he was the same man as the one listed on the Corstorphine memorial?

I've tried the 1915 & 1920 Valuation Rolls, the 1901 and the 1911 Census - no Bradshaws listed in the area at all (that I can see), so it's not looking as if there were any other family members around, which makes it even more strange.

There is a local'ish man in the area listed on 4 different village memorials who shouldn't 'in theory' be on any as his death wasn't attributed directly to war service. He was obviously thought well worthy of inclusion by the folk of those 4 villages! (Balfron, Drymen, Gartmore & Killearn).

Hi Anne

Adam is right. He is on the Corstorphine memorial. I copy the entry from my Corstorphine ROH below. Just for information, the Royal Scots link comes from the death notice in the Edinburgh Evening News. The 4/5th BW entry comes from the medal rolls and the Farm Servant from Bucklyvie comes from the biographical note in the Edinburgh Evening News.
Regards
LIT

Bradshaw, James: Private, 6th Black Watch. Born around 1897 at Corstorphine. A son of Allan Bradshaw, Groom on farm, and Jeanie Bradshaw of Meadowfield, Linlithgow Road, Corstorphine and then Crossmill Farm, Barrhead, Glasgow. Siblings were Charles and Marion. Private Bradshaw was employed as a Farm Servant at Bucklyvie, Stirlingshire. He enlisted at Dunkeld and initially served as Private 6371 in the Scottish Horse before being transferred and serving as a Private in the Royal Scots. He was later transferred and served as Private 7576 in the 4/5th Black Watch then he was posted and served as Private 6041, then 267972, in the 6th Black Watch. He was killed in action on 26/05/1918, aged 21, and is buried in Roclincourt Military Cemetery, Pas-de-Calais, France, Grave V. D. 21.
