Frederick Cook attended Hill Street Council School.

He volunteered for service early in the war and joined the Royal Engineers. He was posted to the Signal Company of the 9th Division on the Western Front. After suffering heavy casualties at Loos in September and October 1915 the Division moved to the Messines Ridge near Ypres.

Although this was a relatively quiet sector, shelling was frequent and Sapper Frederick Cook was killed by shellfire on the 19th December.
