Notes written on page 173 by Colin Hughes after conversations with David Jones, that includes an explanation about 'Father Larkin' who is based upon Father Deiniol Hughes M.C. (15th Royal Welsh Fusiliers).
Colin Hughes visited David Jones many times to discuss elements of the attacks on Mametz Wood by the Welsh battalions in the period 7th to 12th July 1916 during the Battle of the Somme. David Jones annotated Colin's copy of the book 'In Parenthesis' (1937) during these visits.
