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.
