Robert Patrick Cooney was born in Kenagh, Longford, Ireland in June 1870. He attested for the 11th Hussars at Dublin in April 1891, and advanced to Corporal in February 1897. Cooney served with the regiment in India, October 1892 - March 1899. He was tried by district court martial and reduced to Private in August 1899, and transferred to the 18th Hussars in November of the same year.
