Campaigns:
- The First World War 1914-1918, World-wide.
| Unit / Ship / Est.: 3/4 The Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment) |
| Action : France & Flanders |
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.
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.
