During actions at Ita, South Africa, on September 26, 1901, there was a call for volunteers to carry ammunition to artillery positions up the hill. Driver Bradley with a gunner volunteered. As they moved forward over a space of about 150 yards swept by a heavy cross-fire, the gunner fell wounded. Driver Bradley with another gunner, ran out and carried the injured man back to cover.
