    told me not to worry I would get home. They were leaving the camp for home that evening. Red jackets were worn then so they got me one and I landed at Cavan station with the soldiers took off the red coat and started home. The next night I was going out again and doesnt the pair of boys come over the fence one says "John back again". I said "you will not to night".
