Hi Annie,

Wow, thanks for all those links to info.  I'll have to sit down and have a good scout through them all.

Cheers  :)

Archives have War diaries for regiments and battalions

http://www.documentsonline.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

then click on Browse Categories >Other records and choose Military & Defence

Then search or browse within this for the war diaries.


Apparently you can buy them - but you can read them on line I heard - haven't tried that yet !!!

Hi Mack!

I know he was at Fort Regent in the Channel Islands in 1891 for the census I know he was at the Relief of Maferking and he was in France in WW1 but that's all I know....

Frederick Joseph Cooper b. 1870 Chorleton upon Medlock

Thanking you in advance
