Carlton J. Cook served as captain, and later lieutenant colonel for the Army Corps during World War II. In 1942, he was first stationed in Northern Ireland in the United States Army Northern Ireland Base Command (USANIBC). He was later stationed in North Africa and was present in Tunisia when it was liberated from Axis control in May 1943. Born on April 9, 1912 to Clarence and Mabel Cook, he grew up in Binghamton, New York and later married Jeannette, whom he sent letters to while overseas. He attended MIT and graduated in 1934. He was Episcopalian and wrote to his family about Christmas experiences and church. When he went to war, his wife volunteered for the Red Cross, but Cook discouraged her from joining WAVES. While overseas, he suffered from Fascia in his hand, which affected his ability to write for a while. Carlton Cook passed away in High Point, Guilford, North Carolina on August 22, 2003 at the age of 91. |
