Ivan Brady

A Civilian, Ivan died on 26th of May 1941 aged 5. 

Ivan was born at Lowestoft in 1935, a son of Albert Edgar and Daisy Maudie Brady.

The cottages at Wood’s Loke were seen as a place of safety and several people from the town moved there. On 26 May 1941 an enemy aircraft, while being harassed by anti-aircraft fire, discarded its bombs in the Wood’s Loke area which damaged the cottages and caused many casualties. 

Ivan, and his mother Daisy, were at his grandparents’ home, 4 Woods Loke, with his grandmother Harriet and his aunt Lily, and they were all killed there during the air raid. 

Two of Ivan's uncles died on war service: Charles Brady in 1916 and Henry Brady in 1945.
