Help with a soldier in the 8th Glosters

[Shaz.bananas]

Hello,

I recently discovered that my great-great grandfather was a member of the 8th Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment. I have researched as best as I can, but I'm interested in the Battalions participation in the Battle of Loos and the Battle of the Somme (la Boiselle).

The name of the soldier I am researching is: Pte. George W. Hooper

I'd be very grateful for any details, including his company as I do not know much about his service, though I do have his medal index cards.

Thanks,

C
