France & Flanders covers all the dates and corresponding locations which are outside the official battle nomenclature dates on the Western Front. Therefore the actions in which these men died could be considered 'normal' trench duty - the daily attrition losses which were an everyday fact of duty on the Western Front.
He joined the 1st Volunteer Battalion The Queens (Royal West Surrey Regiment) becoming a Lieutenant in August 1906. He was appointed Captain and Instructor of Musketry in 1907 and transferred to the 4th Battalion The Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment) in April 1908, becoming Major in 1910.The third battalion of the Fourth Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment was established at Windsor in April 1915 and the newly promoted Lieutenant-Colonel Utten Lamont Hooke was appointed commanding officer. The battalion left for the Western Front near Arras in May 1917 for training in trench warfare, and was soon sent forward to the fighting line. On the 21 June 1917 Colonel Hooke was killed by a shell near the Chemical Works at Roeux. He is buried at the Level Crossing Cemetery, Fampoux.
