Morpeth Herald 09/07/1916 carries a brief obituary:
Mrs Cooper, of 31 Lynn Street, Blyth, has been notified that her husband, Sergt. G. Cooper, has died from wounds. A Sister-in-Charge of a base hospital has written confirming the sad news:- “I am distressed to have to tell you of the death of your husband, Sergeant G. Cooper, Northumberland Fusiliers. He was brought in yesterday morning to this hospital, badly wounded in the abdomen. The doctors did all they could, but his condition was quite hopeless and he passed away at 10.15pm. He was conscious when he came in and he gave me your address and sent you his love. He will be buried today in the rising ground close behind camp. I am grieved to think of your bereavement. Your husband has given his life for his country in a just cause, and there is no more honourable death”.
He is not remembered in Blyth.
