Abstract
Dr. Harold F. Cook died on December 11, 1979 at his home in Christchurch, Dorset. He was aged 66. Like quite a number of the earlier hospital physicists in this country, Harold Cook was introduced to the mysteries of ionizing radiations and radiological physics at the National Physical Laboratory in the great days of G. W. C. Kaye. From there he was projected straight into the task of building up a new physics department in the Bradford Radium Institute where he stayed for four years. This was followed by service at Hammersmith Hospital before his career was interrupted by the war. He joined the Royal Navy and was commissioned Temporary Lt. Commander, seeing active service, mainly in cruisers, as navigation and radar officer. He also served at the Royal Naval Colleges at Greenwich and Dartmouth and in H.M.S. Collingwood.
