263846 Pte. Thomas Cocking British Army 2nd Btn. Yorkshire Regiment from:Bradford (d.8th July 1916) My great uncle, Tom Cocking of 2nd Battalion, The Princess of Wales Own Yorkshire Regiment, died in the action of 8th of July 1916. His remains are one of seventeen soldiers from the action that have never been found. He is memorialised at the Thiepval monument. My family never spoke of him, and it was purely by accident that I learned of his sacrifice. After almost one hundred years I was the first member of his family to visit Thiepval and the area where Tom lost his life, and I dearly hope that one day his remains will be found and laid to rest. I am more than willing to provide a DNA sample to assist that search should I ever be required to do so.
