George Cook was born in Netley, Hampshire. He attested for the Suffolk Regiment in September 1888, and served with the Regiment in South Africa from November 1899 until August 1901. Cook’s service papers give him as slightly wounded at Rensberg on 6 January 1900 - however, he is not listed in the latest published transcription of the casualty roll. He was discharged on 9 September 1901, having served 13 years with the Colours.

Sold with copied service papers.
