Offer Book - Cookstown's [Co. Tyrone] War Dead 1914-18 & 1939-45
« on: Wednesday 01 October 08 17:49 BST (UK) »
I have just bought a copy of this book, which is published by Cookstown District Council [Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland] in co-operation with the Mid-Ulster Branch of Friends of the Somme:

http://www.sommemidulster.org

This book gives details of almost 400 (WW1) & 80 (WW2) servicemen/women from Cookstown & neighbouring villages, who died during these conflicts.

Some of the entries are sketchy, but others provide a range of info, including names of parents, siblings, friends who enlisted with or served  with them, battle info & location of grave, if known. There are also photos of some of those who died & of Rolls of Honour.

If you have a relative from the Cookstown area who died in WW1 or WW2, I will send you an extract on request - please email me with relevant details.
