Cooper, of Tregear Street, Derwent Park have received a notification from Base Records Office to the effect that their eldest son, Daniel Bernard, had been killed in action in France on May 30. Private Cooper left Claremont camp with early reinforcements for the Í2th Battalion, and very little time elapsed before he reached the firing-line, and during his time there had safely passed through several important engagements. Another son, William, left as a signaller in the aerial corps, and was invalided home some six months ago.
