His service at Gallipoli and in France, and his courtship of nurse Olive Haynes was portrayed in the 2014 ABC Television miniseries ANZAC Girls.

[3] A year later, when the Melbourne University Athletic Club Championships were run in May 1915, it was noted that: Secretarial cares sat lightly on Messrs. N.H. Dooley and W.R. Jewell.

The former won the mile walk in good time, and has also to be congratulated on recently securing the degree of Bachelor of Laws and Literature.

[4] Dooley and his teammate P.M. Hamilton were sent as University delegates to the Victorian Amateur Athletics Association annual meeting in March, to present a resolution passed by the University Sports Union in February 1915 that during the War, "Sports should not be suspended, but should be played for competitive exercise only; and … no premiership or pennant honors should be awarded during the 1916 season".

[9] The story of their courtship and service during the First World War is told in ANZAC Girls, where Dooley is played by Brandon McClelland and Haynes by Anna McGahan.

The six-part series is based on the true stories of nurses serving at Gallipoli and the Western Front during the war, and makes use of the diaries and letters of Sister Haynes, published in 1991.
