'I am doing all right so far, but the war is not over yet. I think some of the Coagh boys ought to make fine soldiers, and they should join the colours. I saw Private O’Neill killed, being only fifty yards distant at the time. We are so near the German trenches at times, they shout over to us. There are a good many boys I know here, and we are in good spirits and doing our best to keep us the good name of Coagh. Please remember me to all.' |
