Pencil drawing of a lighthouse.
Quote from Eamon de Valera transcribed by Robert Daly, Hut 14, Tintown No 3 Camp:
'Soldiers of Liberty! Legion of the rearguard! Let not sorrow overwhelm you. Your efforts and the sacrifices if your dead comrades in this forlorn hope have saved the nations honour and kept open the road to independence.'
Verse transcribed by Maggie Corcoran, Harbour Street, Tullamore, and dedicated to Miss M. E. Lennon.
Verses transcribed by Maggie Corcoran on the subject of public houses:
'Bee Hive Public House
It's in this hive we're all alive
Good liqueur makes us funny.
If you be dry step in and try
The flavour of our honey
Your bees are asps, they sting like wasps
Your liqueur is adulterated and anyone that
resorts this house their misery is completed. '
Verse transcribed by Maggie Corcoran [on the death of her mother].
Drawing by [D. J.] at Tintown Camp, of a rural village. Accompanying verse:
'Old scenes are apt to change
As time will age one's life
But remembrance is a tiny tack
Even thro years of strife.'
Note transcribed by Seoirse MacUistin, Hut 5, Tintown Camp:
The momentous hour is nigh:- tomorrow we begin'
Note by Jimmie Egan (O'Carroll St, Tullamore), Hut 25, C Company, Rath Camp:
'In your golden chain of friendship, consider me a link (the missing one!)'

Verse transcribed by M. Galvin, Hut 5, Tintown No. 3 Camp,
'Keep me in your memory
I dare not ask for more
We may not meet as we have met
When prison life is o'er
Your path and mine may be
In future far apart
Time may bring a change of scenes
But not a change of heart.
