davidbohl Posted 25 June , 2019 Share Posted 25 June , 2019 Looking at Liverpool schoolteacher Pte Henry Alexander Cooke, his MIC is #1644 RAMC He was gazetted 3rd June 1915 as No. 1644 Private A.Cook (no "e") If there is no citation for his DCM can we find out what he did ? Many thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acknown Posted 25 June , 2019 Share Posted 25 June , 2019 archangel19, For my education, how did you get that? It wouldn't obey my search. Acknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel9 Posted 25 June , 2019 Share Posted 25 June , 2019 Searched for "1644 cook", then ignored any date before 3rd June 1915. It was the second result on page 2. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbohl Posted 25 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 25 June , 2019 Well done chaps, I wonder what happened to his "Henry" bit ? As a post script, after the war the papers report him in a strange story about Japanese spies in 1926. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidbohl Posted 25 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 25 June , 2019 Perhaps the names got jumbled as there is another DCM for a Pte A. Cook #388362 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
