Reginald William Cooper, an AFS fireman, died in Bornemouth. No further information about the incident is given by CWGC and I have not been able to find any further details. If anybody can help, please get in touch.
I believe that the eligibility criteria for the CWGC register include any death while on duty in a civil defence role, even if this was not as a result of a bombing, etc.
Reginald Cooper was married to my grandmother - Dorothy Gladys Cooper, he was run over by the fire engine he was travelling on.
