Hi ManU

Have you checked on Ancestry, he might be listed amongst their army records.

Hello,

If James Cook was born 1901/2 and enlisted 1915 he would be 14 yrs old or younger.
Is your source information definitely your man?
Where did James live?

Hi
Good point on age but his death certificate in 1935 says discharged soldier so I assumed it was end of WW1

Where was James living in 1911?

There is a James Cook, 1 yr of 25 Robinson Street, Chadderton and also a brief Record for the same person.
