His efforts convinced him of the urgent need to raise educational standards in Victorian Ireland.

Printed in Belfast, his Copy Books remained in use until the 1950s. Foster was asked to draw up a letter of complaint for the Captain. It was never delivered as Foster was assaulted by the First Mate Mr Williams and the letter destroyed. The whole crew, including the doctor, treated the Irish with contempt and brutality. For use as a cemetery, the dams had to be drained and infilled with clay and the mill and outbuildings demolished. The extension was laid out on a grid pattern. The first burial in Glenalina was that of Lizzie Young, aged 13, on 11th November 1915. Military Graves
