Hello Paul The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records the death and burial of an Albert E Hooke, Pte, 202527, 1st / 5th Leicestershire Regt, son of William Henry Hooke of Anstey, died 25/10/1918. Buried St Sever Cemetery Extension, Rouen, grave reference S. ll. FF.6. Is this your man? Rouen was way back behind the lines, so he would have died either of wounds, or illness, in a hospital there.
