       Killed near Hill 288, October 15, 1918.

All day long, without food or rest, he had been Spraying the German lines with a withering fire.  When darkness fell, the enemy
attempted to locate him, for his ceaseless fire had caused many casualties, by shooting up flare rockets. One of these hit Private Galligher in the stomach, burning him to death.
