Administrative / Biographical History
William Cooper (b. 1886 at Barking, Essex), an undertaker, a member of the Plymouth Brethren and conscientious objector, was granted temporary exemption in June 1916, and exemption conditional on his joining the St John Ambulance Association in Oct. 1916. He was ordered to join the Rifle Brigade in 1917 and his refusal resulted in imprisonment at Wormwood Scrubs in June 1917, before he was transferred to the Non-Combatant Corps, 11th Eastern Company.
