From an article in the Enniscorthy Guardian, June 1915. Interesting Letter from the Front. Writing home to his parents at New Ross last week from the front, James Murphy of the Royal Engineers, and son of Mr James Murphy, Neville Street, New Ross, gives very interesting details. He has been at the front since the war commenced and has gone through several battles, having miraculous escapes on several occasions. Previous to joining the Royal Engineers he was a prison warder and his great mechanical knowledge quickly attracted the attention of the authorities of his Regiment and he was offered promotion in a comparatively short time., The following is part of his letter
 “Dear Parents-Even though many miles from you and on the battlefield, I don’t forget you and never will. Distance or circumstance will never make me forget the affection I owe my parents, whose prayers are being offered each day for my welfare along with the prayers of my dear and beloved wife. I write to my dear wife every day to keep her in good spirits, and with a devoted love to her as my wife, and with God;s help when the war is over we will all meet again, and I have made up my mind to spend my holidays with ye all, particularly as those holidays shall be the most enjoyable ones of my life, and away from the continuous roaring of weapons and spattering of shells, all of which I may say is second nature to me now. But give me peace, that beautiful peace that should always reign and which would be a blessing-one of the greatest blessings that ever came during our time from Almighty God. I attend Benediction every night since I have been out here, and go to Holy Communion every Sunday.
Conscription is not far off in my opinion, and it is time to pull a lot of the slackers out of their feather beds. I am sure the poor class have well contributed their position, and, dear parents, you can say that you have contributed one son who is in the thick of the fight. Germany will be beaten if it was to take us years to do it, and there shall be no surrender to the Kaiser and his outlaws. I can tell you straight he will get something this month that he has not got since the beginning of the war, and he will get something twice as hot in July and treble as hot in October, or maybe sooner, and before the New Year I am sure peace will shine o’er the earth again, and in my opinion the Kaiser will then be fast on his way back to where he came from (dust). May God send peace soon and dispose of the Kaiser as He wishes. We are not the Kaisers judge, and it is a good job he is not ours either. As the French man says, he is no bonn (no good). The writer gives some further interesting passages, and winds up by saying that he is in the best of health, and hopes to meet his parents, wife and child and his brothers and sisters when the war is over.
