Other information
Cousin of Colin Merricks Cooke and Donald Buckingham Cooke. In 1939 he is an ARP warden.
After the 50th Anniversary of Stand Down a scheme was proposed to recognise the Auxiliary Units by adopting a Ordnance Survey trig point. As a result there is a memorial plaque on trig point near Blackland Wood. The plaque reads “Trig Pillar Blackland Wood, adopted by the Cooke/ Wilcox families, March 1995. Dedicated in appreciation of members of SX 203 Icklesham Patrol of the British Resistance Movement 1940-44, known as Auxiliary Units”.
