Biography
He was General Manager of Cape Argus Group of Newspapers at Cape Town, Cape Province, South Africa. Born in the unincorporated community of Souris, MB, Canada in 1888, he accompanied his family to Wales before emigrating to South Africa (where his mother Florence Elizabeth Armstrong Fairbridge was born). He was the elder brother of Austin Clare Cooper, an artist best known for his posters. He married Muriel Beatrice Whiley in 1925 and they had two children.
Served in British Red Cross, 1917-1919, during the Great War.[1]
