Major Cook bred the bean along 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 onward. So the bean was developed after 1954.
