Private Neely, who was not quite twenty years of age, thoroughly deserved the soldierly character given him by his colonel, and much sympathy is felt in the district fo his father and mother in their bereavement. Clogher school has twenty-five ex-pupils serving their country in the army in this great struggle, and Private Neely is the third to make the supreme sacrifice, the others being Lance Corporal Bertie Cull and Private Richardson Paisley. |

‘In the Field, 12th May 1916. I wish to convey to you the sympathy of all ranks of the battalion in the sorrow that has come to you by the death of your son, Private G Neely. The battalion carried out a successful raid on the enemy’s trenches last Sunday night, inflicting severe loss on them. We were subjected to a very heavy bombardment for three and a half hours, and we had considerable casualties. Your son was a gallant soldier and a good comrade and we mourn his loss. The battalion was thanked on parade today by the Army Corps Commander on the gallantry shown by all ranks.’ |
