Transcript of information from film R1326 in WO363 series at National Archives.  Details relate to men named J Rooney who served in WW1 apart from the misfiled papers of a Thomas Rooney & three other men named Scroggie, Simpson & McBride.

There will be mistakes here, but I have been as careful as possible.  A question mark '?' means I cannot read that particular word or phrase.  If you have any corrections or info to add, then contact me on sozhan 'AT' blueyonder.co.uk (replace 'AT' with @)

Service numbers are off film. Where I have checked the NA's Documents Online website and found extra numbers or regiments, they are shown by a plus sign before the entry (e.g. search on 9708 for J McBride brings up extra info of John, 703353, Labour Corp)

You are most welcome to use any information for private research only.  Commercial use of this information is not allowed.  Original image copyright remains with the National Archives.  © APR 2007.
