    Mr French went back to the same high position for this one - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000340276 . Interesting to compare the lack of trams, tall lamps, trees, etc.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The fountain is on the 25" map at GeoHive, dated maybe 1903. That map has electric tram tracks, missing here, which are from 1898.

Private Bernard Walter Northcott Cooke

    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.

    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.

    Hi I am back. Is Gerald Northcott Cooke from Brighton a relation of Bernard. Gerald married Jeanette Francis Mills in Canada. There is a history on the underneath link with a photo of Nettie, Gerald and Bernice on page 248 and one a few years later on his own and the Fallen Graves page 249. If Gerald is related to Bernard and you have not seen this link also go to page 367 with the drop down menu or click the arrow until you get to that page, as he is mentioned again on the Mills page. my email address is i.body@sky.com and if you are still worried look me up on facebook ivor james burgess body. regards ivor www.ourfutureourpast.ca/loc_hist/page.aspx?id=3529214
