Leonard Gosse Cooper, Second Lieutenant, South Wales Borderers. Leonard was the Youngest of three sons of W. Percy Cooper, of Ambleside, Abergavenny. Educated at Llandovery between 1903 and 1910, Leonard played at forward for the School XV. Leonard had distinguished himself at Llandovery and gained a Classical Scholarship to Jesus College, Oxford, and while at Oxford he was awarded the Goldsmith's Exhibition, and First Class Honours in Classical Moderations in 1914. The Senior Examiner at Oxford expressed the view that Leonard ought to devote himself to research in the Classics, but at the outbreak of War in 1914, he applied for a commission in the Army, and on the 29th August, 1914 Leonard Gosse Cooper was gazetted Temporary 2nd Lieutenant into the 4th Battalion, South Wales Borderers. The Battalion was attached to the 40th Brigade, 13th (Western) Division, and on the 28th June, 1915, Leonard's Battalion embarked for Gallipoli aboard the 'Megantic', intending to assemble at Mudros. However, a change in orders meant that the ship was diverted directly to the Gallipoli Peninsula, where the Battalion landed on V Beach, Helles. From V Beach they marched to Gully beach on 15th July. After a stay of 2 weeks they were sent to Anzac as part of the Left Covering Force in readiness for the August Offensive. Leonard was in charge of No.12 Platoon of 'C' Company, which was occupying a rough knoll at Damakjelic Bair, when on 9th August, the Turks attacked in semi-darkness. 'C' Company had no time to strengthen their position, and in the fighting Leonard Cooper was killed outright by Turkish gun fire. His Commanding Officer described him as "an officer of great ability and promise, who will be severely missed." Leonard was 23 years of age, and has no known grave, and so is commemorated on the Helles Memorial, Gallipoli.
