124610 Fred Cooper British Army from:Heckmondwike My Grandfather Fred Cooper was in the army in WW2 he was a prisoner of war and he did show us a picture once of him rather emaciated after being starved to almost death, but since he passed away I have no idea where the photos or documents are, as none of the family have them or know where they are. I am trying to research my Cooper heritage but keep coming to dead ends my aunts and uncles don't know much information the eldest being 67 and the youngest my father 53. The family lost my grandmother Grace Goldthorpe when my father was only 9 years old to hyperthermic pneumonia and when she passed away my grandfather Fred Cooper raised the 5 children or more to the point they were to help raise each other because he never spent much time with them or even talked to them about what he did in the war and whether he had any close comrades from the war. All I know are things he started to tell us as he got to his 70's, so if anyone could possibly fill some blanks it would be greatly appreciated
