An-diugh tha sinn a' faighinn dealbh air beatha nam banaltram sa Chiad Chogadh bho Ghilleasbuig MacDh貌mhnaill. B' ann 脿 Ste貌rnabhagh a bha Ceit NicGriogair agus bha i na banaltram anns an 29th General Hospital Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. Air a 22mh den Fhaoilleach 1916 dh'fhoillsich a' Highland News earrainnean 脿s na litrichean aice. Air soitheach ospadail ann a' Suvla Bay an Gallipoli, chunnaic Ceit sealladh a chur uabhas oirre.

Air an aon latha dh'fhoillsich a' Highland News cunntas bho bhanaltram a bh' aig an taigh air f貌rladh san Ath Leathann. Bha 'Miss Nicolson', mar a bh' ac' oirre as a' ph脿ipear, air a bhith ag obair ann a' Serbia, mar a bha a bana-charaid 'Miss Mary MacKenzie'. Bha iad ag obair c貌mhla ri seirbheis ris an cante Ospadail nam Ban-Albannach (Scottish Women's Hospitals) air ospadal a Bha a' suidheachadh ann a Serbia uabhasach agus, mar a chluinneas sinn, tha litrichean 'Miss Nicolson' a' dearbhadh sin.

Tha Gilleasbuig MacDh貌mhnaill ag innse mar a thug naoi Zeppelins ionnsaigh air Sasainn air an oidhche mu dheireadh dhen Fhaoilleach 1916. Mharbh no le貌n iad c貌rr air ceud is ochdad duine.
B' i an L19 aon de na soithichean-adhair seo. Bha i air an t-soitheach mu deireadh a' tighinn tarsainn a' Chuan a Tuath agus bha e air a r脿dh gu robh trioblaidean air a bhith ann le h-einnseanan air an rathad a-null. Air an t-slighe dhachaigh chuir i brath a-mach grunn thursan ag iarraidh comharran r猫idio a chumadh i air c霉rsa. Chualas mu dheireadh bhuaipe an latha an d猫idh na h-ionnsaigh is i c貌rr air fichead m矛le tuath air eilean D霉itseach, Ameland. Bha tri de na ceithir einnseanan aice air stad, 's cha robh an r猫idio ag obair ceart. Cluinnidh sinn an sgeulachd inntinneach a lean.

Agus cluinnidh sinn mar a chaidh an cri霉sair Frangach, 'Amiral Charner', a chur fodha le b脿t'-aigeil Gearmailteach far cladach Siria air an 8mh den Ghearran. Agus mar a tha Gilleasbuig MacDh貌mhnaill ag innse, dh'atharraich n脿dar a' Chogaidh ann am Breatainn air an 10mh den Ghearran nuair a chaidh Achd an t-Seirbheis Cogaidh, no am Military Service Act, a chur an gn矛omh: "All unmarried men who, on August 15th 1915, were 18 years of age or over and who will not be 41 years of age on March 2nd 1916, will, on Thursday March 2nd 1916, be deemed to be enlisted for the period of the war. They will be placed in the Reserve until called up in their class."
Cluinnidh sinn cuideachd mu artaigil ann an T矛m an 脪bain air an t-seachdain sa bho chionn 100 bliadhna mu ch貌ignear 脿s an aon dachaigh an Uibhist a Deas a bha sna feachdan. B' e seo teaghlach Raghnaill 'ic Ruaraidh, Ruairidh D貌mhnallach is a bhean M脿iri, ann an Gearraidh Sheilidh.
