Bradford Freeman, who has died aged 97, was the last surviving member of Company E (Easy Company) in the US 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the “Screaming Eagles” 101st Airborne Division, an outfit whose exploits became known when Stephen Ambrose’s book Band of Brothers (1992), and the subsequent Emmy-winning HBO miniseries of the same name (2001), turned them into one of the most famous fighting units of the Second World War.
