Newspaper article
I have a 9/27/1915 edition of the Boston Post (now defunct) in my basement. The headline is about the Battle of Loos. Towards the bottom of the page is this note about Canadian casualties which includes James Cooley. It also lists William Collings of Halifax as dying of his wounds and Robert Parker Randall as wounded. The last name is missing from the notice. All I can read is Fred William --- of Canning, NS listed as wounded and missing. -
