One thought on “Family History Research”

  1. I have been trying to find out for several years what happened to my Great Uncle Thomas Cooper (Private 453003, 58th Batallion, Canadian Expeditionary Force).

    I know that Thomas spent some time at Cornwall Hall but I do not know what happened to him.

    Thomas arrived at Cornwall Hall, VAD Hospital, Sevenoaks, Kent, on 22nd June 1915. He was suffering from shell shock.

    Thomas was born in 1890 in Bristol and emigrated to Canada where he joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Niagara, Toronto. He arrived in France in March 1915, I believe, and was evacuated to No 25 General Hospital, Hardelot in France (15th June 1915 ) before being looked after at Cornwall Hall.

    Thomas was one of three brother fighting on the Western Front. His older brother Alfred James survived (he was an ‘Old Contemptible’ but his baby brother Ernest Edwin died in the early hours of 18 March 1918).

    I have only just stumbled across your wonderful website and and wondering if you might be able to shed a little more light on what happened to my Great Uncle Thomas.

    Kind regards,

    Bridget Morris.
