Trpr. Frank Cooke

British Army 1st Btn., 2nd Troop King's Dragoon Guards

from:Streethouse

My father, Frank Cooke, tried to enlist in 1940 but was too young so joined the Home Guard. He enlisted in 1942 when he was almost 18 and stayed in the Army through the rest of World War 2 and was then deployed to Palestine from the end of the war until late 1946.

I have all his medals, photographs and various paperwork but as he rarely spoke about his service I requested his service record. Anyone who has done this will know what I mean when I say it may as well have been written in tongues! I have, however, found a very kind man who has volunteered to attempted to decipher it for me. I am very proud of my father's service for his king and country.
