Looking for information about Gunner William Cook, who served in the Royal Garrison Artillery 282nd Siege Battery, during WW1. His Regimental Number was 167310 and survived the War. Any kind of information is welcome. Many thanks, Patrick (Belgium)

Patrick
to access the records that Robert has found you can ask your local library if they have the free version of ancestry.
If ancestry does not have free library version in Belgium let us know.
More than 60% of WW1 records were destroyed by bombing/fire/water in WW11 so having these records survive is very lucky.
