    • Trooper Wookey was shot while trying to escape from a Boer prisoner of war camp at Doornbult and was reported buried by the Boers on a farm near Dornbult.

      The Sydney Morning Herald, 18 May 1901 writes "Mrs. J. Logan, of Chatswood has received a letter from Captain H. P. Tuckey written at Kimberley, expressing deep sympathy at the death of her son Trooper A. W. L. Wookey, 21 who was a native of Tasmania and a member of the 5th New Zealand Contingent. Deceased resided at Tinwald, Canterbury, when he enlisted. It appears that on being taken prisoner the deceased was stripped of arms and valuables, and was sent away on foot with two Boers guarding him on March 27. When getting through a wire fence he drew his revolver, which had not been discovered, shot one Boer dead and severely wounded the other. The shots were heard by a party of mounted Boers, who rode up and finding what had happened killed young Wookey. Captain Tuckey in his letter states that the courage of the deceased was much admired."

      Thoughout the war Wookey kept a diary, which was supposedly purchased at Beira, Mozambique on 19 May 1900. Wookey, wrote of the cross-country travel, sometimes by train however, often on horseback. He describes how difficult the camp life was, and describes the weather conditions - very hot with torrential rain, he writes of the sickness and many of the shortages of food and water. This diary was sold at auction in February 2020, it was purchased by the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. A digital copy of the diary is available on the AWM web-site.

      Wookey's Diary also includes mentions different people; who have been identified by Tim Hallam. On the 12 September Wookey mentions recieving letters from his brother Rupert and sister Olive. They are Rupert Henry Hobbs Wookey (1881-1945) and Olive Linda Grubb Wookey (1886-1976) who married firstly, James Lawson Smith (sometimes Lawson-Smith) and secondly, Albert Sydney Arnold. Miss D Wookey of Latrobe, Tasmania is Wookey's other sister Daisy Winifred Grubb Wookey (1876-1956). Mrs T Overton of 374 Malvern Road, Prahran, Victoria and she is Caroline Charlotte Hole who married Tom Overton a real estate agent in Prahran, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Caroline being a cousin of Wookey’s mother.
