Description: | Photocopy of a badly-written and often obscene account (58pp) of the First World War experiences of 'E Casey' who served in the 2nd Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers (49th Brigade, 16th Division), describing his training in Ireland and brief spells of active service in the Ypres Salient and at Salonika, although he was wounded and suffered from shell shock and so spent much of his time overseas in hospital; in addition he went AWOL on several occasions and feigned illness on others and so he saw little active service. The document has little to commend it except for the comments he makes on Irish attitudes to British soldiers.
