I wonder if some one can help me find infomation on the names of the Men mentioned on the War Memorial in Woodbridge Suffolk .... they are E J Cooper, J Cooper, G.J. Cooper.. also the Grimwoods buried in the Church there.... also does anyone know anything about Edward Cooper who was the Skipper of the Ship Winona that was lost at sea 24th Dec 1881 i believe there is a painting of the ship in the council Chambers in Woodbridge .... Thankyou ...

WW1 or WW2 or both ? The more information you can give, the more we may be able to help

Google brings up a picture of the Memorial

E. G. Cooper and J. Cooper are WW1 - note E. G

G. J. Cooper is WW2

When were the Grimwoods buried - what were their names and how old were they at the time?
