Sgt. Stanley George Cooper
British Army 2/5th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Smethwick
(d.3rd December 1917)
My Great Great Uncle Stanley Cooper was born in Kidderminster, the son of Alfred and Helen Cooper. He married Beatrice Humphries at St.Mary's Church, before they moved to Smethwick and had a daughter Margaret Lillian Cooper.
During the First World War he served as a Sergeant in the 2/5th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment. During the Battle of Cambrai the 2/5th Battalion were called forward from the reserves to help hold the line against the German counter attack near Marconing. Sergeant Stanley Cooper was killed during the fighting before the British Army withdraw. He has no known grave and is remembered on the Cambrai Memorial at Louverval Military Cemetery as well as Kidderminster War Memorial outside St.Mary's Church.
I would love to find out more about him.
