Pte Walter Cook
British Army 1st Btn Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry
from:London
(d.23rd Jul 1916)
My Uncle Walter Cook enlisted in the DCLI as an underage boy from South London,and was killed at Delville Wood on 23 July 1916, aged just 17, where he is buried.Sadly his war records perished in a fire at the National archivesin the thirties and the family photo of him in uniform is long lost.I would very much like, in this anniversary year, to trace a photo of him if anyone can help.
