Thank you very much for all the information you supplied..Do you have any info on the reason he was in Hospital and what wounds he received and for how long before being sent back
Regards

To answer your question we would need to know when he returned to the UK.
I can't find a service record for him so we need Alamo2008 to give some details.
With regard to his transfer to the MGC his number indicates a transfer date
of around mid 1917.
I don't know if Alamo2008 can confirm this.

Pte 8282  Arthur Cook 4th Royal Fusiliers went Overseas per MIC on 21 December 1914  from that I assumed he must have been Trained and in the Army pre War
I have since found Near Numbers to 8282 were :-
8279 Henry Carter Enlisted 2/10/1900
8282  Arthur Cook
8286 William Andrews Enlisted 6/10/1900

I couldn't find any 1915 Casualty listing for Arthur but assumed he was patched up and sent back Overseas but no information if it was 1915 or 1917 when he became MGC -Sorry

Where did the info come from that says he returned to the UK in Jan. 1915 ?

[jim1]

26th. & 27th. they had several casualties from snipers.
Not sure there would have been enough time to get him back to the UK
by the end of the month.
