This appears to be of a later design, but might be related to Curtiss Flying Boat NC-4 www.aviation-history.com/navy/nc4.html Flying boat NC-4 was a subject of a history detectives story www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/investigations/506_nc4.... The History detectives video segment describes the difficulty and danger involved in flying these seaplanes across the Atlantic in the teens... amazing.

Although Private Cooke has some history given, I'm going to try this one and possibly locate a Canadian family. He is a man of conviction, like my grandfather, who served on the Western front for 4 years lifting the wounded... I like to think, they may have met in person, when time and circumstance led them to cross paths at YPRES in 1916.

Birth: 2 Oct 1889 - Sussex, England Death: 15 Jun 1916 - France Parents: Charles Sidney Cooke, Emily Sarah Northcott via www.ancestry.co.uk

My uncle was born in Hove/Brighton and after leaving Brighton College worked for the Montreal bank in London. Was transferred to Montreal. Volunteered for the Princess Patricia's Canadian Volunteer force. Injured in 1916 Ypres hospitalised for 3 weeks in England returned to France and died 3 days later at Mount Sorrell with thousands of other Canadians. My cousins Ernest Body and Arthur Perrey born in Wittersham Kent left from Medicine Hat for France luckily both returned uninjured. Others Body's killed Major Edward 1918 and Arthur 1915. Remembered them all hear.
