L/Cpl. William George Cooper
British Army 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment
from:Hornsey, London
(d.24th December 1941)
My father never knew what happened to his brother, William Cooper apart from that he died in the War.
It was about 30 years ago that my family research began and in 1996 I visited the Sai Wan Bay Memorial, Hong Kong and found William's name in Column 14.
I sat there on a beautiful day with tears falling down my face because I had found him and was the first member of his family to come and pay respects.
I have no photographs of him so do not know what he looked like.
