Cpl Frederick Thomas Toohey
Army Oxfordshire and Bucks Light Infantry
(d.1914)
I found his commemoration scroll thrown on the tip in 1984 in Northamptonshire in a place called Wollaston. I felt quite sad as I come from a military family and knew how special it was. Every year we buy a new poppy to put on it as it is in a nice frame. I would like to find out more about him.

Alexander Toole
British Army Durham Light Infantry
from:2 Heap Row, Leasingthorne, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham
Alexander Toole was my maternal grandfather. He joined the Durham Light Infantry during World War One, as did his younger brother, James Toole, and cousin, Richard Toole. I cannot find any military records citing his name, battalion, rank or field of combat. Family folklore states he was a cook in the Catering Corps, though as a coal miner he had no experience, other than home cooking, that we are aware of!
Alexander had a wife and two young sons at the outbreak of war (aged 3 years and 1 year) and after surviving the war and returning home he went on to have 3 more sons and 1 daughter, my mother. He is named on the Roll of Honour in Coundon Working Men's Club near Bishop Auckland. He died in 1960, aged 73.

(d.24 December 1915)
James Toole was the younger and only brother of my maternal grandfather, Alexander (Alex) Toole. My grandfather and his brother both joined the DLI along with their cousin Richard Toole.
James was killed on Christmas Eve 1915, aged 20, but my attempts from a distance to ascertain how and exactly where have drawn a blank. He is buried in Poperinge, West Flanders (West-Vlaanderen), Belgium. He is listed with others on the main war memorial in Coundon, but is not named on the roll of honour in Coundon Working Men's club, although his brother Alexander who survived the war is! I would love to know more about his military service to pass onto his family who are eternally proud of his sacrifice.

Pvt. Cecil Tooley
16th London Regiment, Queen's Westminster Rifles
from:Great Yarmouth, England
I have very little information regarding my Dad's wartime experiences. He was loath to talk about it, at least when I was a child. He did mention Gommecourt, in France at one time, and I believe he was part of the forces with General Allenby during the campaign in the mid-east. My Uncle Harry Tooley also served in the British Army but I have no details. Another Uncle, Walter Tooley, was a Royal Marine but again I have no information. Another Uncle. Clifford William Tooley was killed in December 1917 during the Passchendaele campaign.

The bride's parents were James and Margaret (nee Fitzsimons) Lyons. David and Ethel had one child together, a daughter, Margaret whom they called Marjorie. On records from the period, David gave his occupation as a jockey and horse trainer. David later accepted a position with U.S.L. Battery where he played an important roll in the development of the dry cell battery. He stayed with the firm for thirty-five years after which he retired and moved with his wife Ethel to California to live with their daughter Marjorie. David was a family favorite. Just about everyone in the family went to visit him at one time or another and all of them remember him fondly. David had brown hair and blue eyes. He died in California on 10 May 1980.

Pte. Jeremiah Toomey
British Army 1st Btn. London Regiment
Jeremiah Toomey, I was told, was killed in action in WW1 and his name is on the Menin Gate. I have Jeremiah's death plaque. I started by looking for him on the CWWGC site nothing showed for him, then it was on to the Imperial War Museum and was informed the next of kin could claim it if his wounds had contributed to his death. He was medically discharged in 1919 where had been since being wounded in 1916. I then went to the National Archives checked the medal index from which I learned when he was wounded and when he was discharged. And from the war dairy of the 1st London Regiment have obtained his date of enlistment, as for the name on the Menin Gate, when my uncle died in 2006 it confused things even more. On clearing a garden shed not only was the plaque discovered but a very badly damaged photograph of a solider in a seargent's tunic taken in the London E14 area of London. The photographer's name is on it and I can't be sure but there was writing on the back in pencil but is so faded you can only make out what may be words. I would like to know if there is anything more of Jeremiah.
Sgt. Jeremiah John Toomey MM.
British Army East Lancashire Regiment
(d.8th July 1916)
I know nothing of Jeremiah Toomey apart from a damaged photograph recovered from my uncle's shed and that he is buried in Hillies Station Cemetery. I hope there is some one out there who may know his story. His widow remarried and she had to obtain a UK death certificate to do so, all it said in the volume there recorded in was died of wounds.
Pte. William Toomey
British Army London Regiment
(d.14th Aug 1917)
Wiliam Toomey (Twomey) was born in Popular in 1880. He was wounded in 1916 and was killed on the 14th of August 1917. He had a brother named Jeremiah and maybe one named John, and a sister, Margaret, my greatgranmother. I'd like to hear more of his history as William has no known grave. Is there any one out there that has any documents concerning William?
