Pte. Joshua Cooper
British Army 9th Btn Royal Inniskilling Fusilliers
from:Belfast
Joshua Cooper was my Grandad, and unfortunately I know very little about him. He was born in Wolverhampton, England but moved to Belfast when he was around 2 or 3. In Dec 1915 he joined the Royal Inniskilling Fusilliers in Belfast as an engineer. I believe he was in France between July 1916 and December 1917 where he received gun shot wounds to his left hand. I believe he was sent to Birmingham to one of the military hospitals, where I think he was demobbed in March 1919 and met and married my Grandmother. In September 1919 he re-enlisted in the RAMC for a 12 month short service.
I would appreciate if anyone has any information they think may help me.
