Patrick Bradley was born in Greenock and attested for the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders at Hamilton on 15 September 1902. He served with the 2nd Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 10 August 1914 (also entitled to a clasp to his 1914 Star), and died of wounds on 29 November 1914. The Battalion War Diary for November 1914 confirms that the Battalion was heavily engaged at Ploegstreet Wood and Hooplines in the latter half of the month, battling snow and frost in addition to sniping from the enemy trenches.
Bradley is buried in Cite Bonjean Military Cemetery, Armentieres, France.
