Edward Eden Bradford joined the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1872,〔 serving on the modern ironclad battleships ''Hercules'', ''Monarch'', and ''Sultan'' in the Channel Fleet.〔(National Maritime Museum catalogue box BRD/1 )

Bradford was then appointed sub-lieutenant on the survey schooner ''Sandfly''.〔 In October 1880, whilst surveying ashore in the Solomon Islands, the ''Sandfly''s commanding officer, Lieutenant Bower, and five crewmen were murdered by the natives. Bradford took charge of the ''Sandfly'', recovered the bodies of his shipmates, and punished the natives by burning their village. This earned him a special promotion to Lieutenant in December 1880.〔(National Maritime Museum catalogue box BRD/5 )〕〔(Maritime Museum catalogue box BRD/8 Official printed report: ''Narrative of the Proceedings of H.M.
