- This is the first page of James Murphy's letter home from Australia to his mother. It was written in an army camp in Perth on the 12th of October 1915. The first page indicates that his mother does not agree with her son going to fight in the war and James explains his reasons for joining. He is fighting to stop Ireland and Australia from falling under German control and writes of how the Germans would take all of the people's possessions and land and how they will become the Germans servants whether they swear allegiance or not. He then goes on to write about the attitude towards a single man who does not go to fight in the war.
