Frank Flanders Posted 16 March , 2022 Share Posted 16 March , 2022 (edited) About PRIVATE RICHARD COOK Service Number: 32968, 1st Bn. Bedfordshire Regiment, 15th Bd 5th Division who died 10 May 1917 and who is buried at WIMEREUX COMMUNAL CEMETERY. I would like to find out when exactly he was wounded and then admitted to one of the (many) hospitals in the Boulogne-Wimereux area. The WD of his battalion gives at least 3 periods in April-May 1917 where it may have happened. Where could I find more? I don't know if there's a surviving service record. Who can help me in this? THANKS Edited 16 March , 2022 by Frank Flanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 16 March , 2022 Share Posted 16 March , 2022 There appears to be something of a service record for him on FMP. I can't see the original but the way it's indexed I'd say it's a Sick/Wounded list or similar rather than his service record. It may relate to the April-May 1917 event but these lists also have minor ailments listed. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootrock Posted 16 March , 2022 Share Posted 16 March , 2022 The thread title is regarding Richard Brooks, but the first post is about Richard Cook. Which is correct? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
