Major Cook's Bean

I was very interested to read the article from Daughter of the soil, relating to "Major Cook's Bean":
In fact, I am Major Cook's daughter! - But there are a few points that need redressing:
Major Cook was born in Southampton in 1915. So he did not develop the bean in 1920, although at that age he was very involved with his grandfather Vokes who was an enthusiastic gardener who won many medals and prizes for outstanding show produce.
No, Major Cook (my father), bred the bean with Mr Luxton, his colleague, in a small town in the North of France named Albert, on the Somme, where they both lived, working for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Major Cook was area superintendent, and continued to train gardeners throughout his career. Major Cook began his career in Horticulture, being a student at Kew Gardens in London. He worked for the CWGC in Normandy from 1946 to 1954, then on the Somme from 1954 onwards. So the bean was developpedafter 1954!
