Add my storyBiography contributed by John Birrer
John 'Jack' Cooper was one of the first to enlist in his home town attested by his low enlistment number QX3449.
Her served in the Second Seventh (2/6 ASSC) and saw active service in Tobruk and other theatres in North Africa, also at Milne Bay in New Guinea and Balikpapan then in Borneo (now Indonesia).
Always very proud of the fact that he served in a Division that were the first of the Allies to inflict or stop further incursion by the Axis forces (Nazi and Japanese military).
He and his wife had no children but were very much loved by his adoring neices and nephews.
