He was educated at Bloxham, Banbury, Oxford, and entered the Royal Navy in July 1887.

Mentioned in Despatches; landed with the Naval Brigade for the defence of Tientsin, and accompanied brigade during Admiral Seymour's attempted relief of Legations; employed in repairing and constructing temporary armoured trucks; did Company Officer's work with Royal Marines after Captain Beyts, RMA, was killed, and was left behind in the Tse-ku Arsenal, with Marines under Major Johnstone, as guard to the party left to destroy Arsenal.

He received the Medal and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 9 November 1900]: "George Herbert Cockey, Engineer, Royal Navy. In recognition of services during the recent operations in China". (An additional entry says: "Name changed to Bromwich. Letter from the Admiralty dated 15 June 1912.") He was decorated for his services with the Royal Marines during Admiral Seymour's retreat to Tientsin, and for mounting 4-inch guns at Tientsin afterwards. The Insignia, Warrant and Statutes of the DSO were sent to the Admiralty, and the Insignia presented on 31 January 1901, by Rear Admiral Sir J A T Bruce, Second-in-Command on the China Station. Engineer-Commander Cockey changed his name to Bromwich by deed-poll in 1912.
