Description
Excerpt from Tales of the R. I. C
Before his mother died she made Patsey promise that he would not go back to France, and that he would stay at home and help his father to mind the other children. It is hard for a son to refuse his dying mother, and doubly so for an Irish boy.
When his mother''s funeral was over, Patsey buried his uniform and equipment in a bog hole at night; but his ri?e he hid in the thatch of an outhouse, and it was given out in the neighbourhood that he had been dis charged from the Army as medically unfit.
