Thanks for the reply.

I belong to Ancestry, Find my Past and The Genealogist, each of which has qualities not always available on the other(s). The Broadwell memorial hall has Charles Rooke listed as Royal Army Medical Corps.

The Worcestershire Regt/Royal Engineers Charles = the one you refer to = is also known to me and I think that there may be some confusion regarding his service as at some time he was in an RAMC hospital and it is possible that the family have been confused by this (hope I am wrong!!). I also feel that this is the brother of Thomas Alban Rooke of Broadwell Lane Ends, who died during WW1.

I have found another Charles but this one is not the one I am looking for (62918 RAMC).

I am aware of the St Briavels Rooke - I think that is a descendant of the Rooke of Gibraltar fame - but thanks anyway
