Hope this is the right place for my topic. An accountant who served queen and country throughout the Second World War has died peacefully at his West Midland home, leaving children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Tributes were today paid to widower Alec Coope, a former member of The Royal Artillery from Bloxwich, who died aged 91. Mr Coope qualified as an accountant after leaving the town’s former Elmore Green High School. It was here where he met wife Alice nee Mundy. He was called up to serve in the Army when war broke out and spent part of his time with the military in Malta, manning anti-aircraft guns. God bless you Alec
