"I am improving in writing if I knew all the capital letters I could do first rate" wrote #Roscommon soldier Martin Tiernan to his mother in the Five Points 1862, practicing his "B." He assured her he would see no combat before war's end. Martin was killed in his first battle. – at Pedersöre, Finland
