Biography contributed by Stephen Brooks

Donald’s parents were John and Catherine Bradney of Coolamon, New South Wales. His mother had passed away during 1908 and his father died in February 1916, about six months after Donald enlisted.

Donald’s brothers, 2376 Pte John Bradney 56th Battalion AIF was killed in action in France on 2 April 1917 and 1620 Pte Wentworth Edward Bradney 54th Battalion AIF, was killed in action in Belgium, 24 September 1917.

Donald transferred to the Field Artillery in Egypt during March 1916, and was badly gassed during August 1918. He was returned to Australia later in 1918.
