244347 Sgt. Thomas Cooper British Army 16th Btn. Royal Scots from:Glasgow (d.22nd Oct 1917) Not much I can say about my father's brother, Thomas Cooper. He was born in Bridgeton, Glasgow in 1880s, son of a cobbler. He was a barber and tried to improve himself by spending many hours in the Mitchell Library. He married a nurse. He appears to have joined the Highland Light Infantry in the first instance but must have been transferred to the Royal Scots at a later stage in the war. He is one of the very few who have a name on their headstone at the Commonwealth Graves Commission Cemetery in Poelkapelle, Langemark, Belgium, which is kept in immaculate condition.
