I am related to many of the Rook family (if not all of them) from the Forest of Dean.
Charles and Thomas Alban Rook(e) are the sons of Urban Rook(e) who lived from 1859-1931. Their mother was Mary Ann (nee Haris) 1888-1914.
Thomas Alban Rook(e) was born in 1895 and according to my research he was killed in action in Greece in WW1 and was buried in Salonika/Thesalonika. He died on 30th October 1916. He was in the Royal Worcester Regiment and was a corporal by the time he died. However, his brother, Charles was born in 1896 but I do not think that he died in WW1, I have him living until the 1960s.

I have other records of other Rook(e) relatives and I think some were in the Royal Army Medical Corps. I will have a look to see if it's another one.
