Gunner J.T. Cooper
News has been received on Tuesday morning that Gunner James T. Cooper R.F.A., 4th son of the late Mr. C. Cooper and Mrs. Cooper, the Hawthorns, Elworth, had died of wounds on the 7th October. An officer wrote to Mrs. Cooper that a signalling party, of whom her son was one, was going forward, when a shell burst near them. Three of the party we're wounded, her son fatally. He lived half an hour, and never regained consciousness. Official information has not yet been received. Gunner Cooper had been on active service for more than a year and had been slightly wounded on two previous occasions. Prior to joining the army, he was employed at Bolton. He was for several years in Mr. T. Lunt’s ironmongers shop of Sandbach, where he served his time, and he was educated at Sandbach grammar school. Three of the family are serving abroad, and one has been discharged through ill health contracted on active service.
There is some evidence that James was buried at Hooge Cemetery, however later for some reason this was discounted, a postcard from the local Church Army who visited Ypres and sent to his sister Anna, whom by the end of the war had married, indicated that they had been successful and found his grave. 
His Medal Index Card shows the family received two war medals
The soldiers effects register shows what gratuity was paid to family in 1919.
