CFMN Ronald Cocking
Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
Ronald Cocking was my uncle and brother to George Cocking. His father was in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Fred Cocking, my great grandfather, was George Booth killed at Ypres in 1915 with the Duke of Wellington's Regiment.
Ronald served in the REME towards the end of WW2. Post war on demobilisation he worked at the local Hopkinson's Engineering works local to the Huddersfield area. He married and had had two daughters Susan and Julie and was married to his wife Joan. They lived mainly in the Dalton Oakes and Fenny Bridge area of the town. He is still living but sadly is not well at present.
