William Cooper was the son of Mrs E.J. Cooper of 65 Attwood Street, Wollescote, and he attended Wollescote school. He enlisted in the Worcesters and was sent to the 3rd Battalion on the Western Front. In 1916 they fought on the Somme, notably in the attacks on the Leipzig Salient protecting Thiepval in August and September. In 1917 they were again prominent in the Third Battle of Ypres.
