Thanks NS I'm trying to get a pic to go with this guy ...

Writing to his aunt, who resides in North Street, Ballymena, L.cpl. Dan Lorimer (8066) 2nd Royal Irish Rifles, a well known Ballymena man who was wounded at the Battle of Mons said:- “We had a big fight with the Germans and that is the reason I did not write sooner. I tell you it was rough. We cut them down like sheep as soon as we ran up to them. I reckon there were six or seven of them called for every one of us.

“I reckon I was lucky as I never got a scrape. I was recommnded for the DCM for bravery on the field and I am getting full corporal - that is two stripes .”

Corporal Lorimer has two brothers, Sergt. John Lorimer and Pte. David Lorimer, Inniskillings, and Rfn. Willie Lorimer, 18th Royal Irish Rifles, with the army. His brother-in-law, Pte. Bob Owens, is with the Highland Light Infantry.

He is writing in late September 1915

Here is a DCM that belonged to one of my 25th boys. I only have a scanner so I hope the picture is OK.
