Diary entry 207: date- October 1st 1656:
God knows why i came to Scandinavia. I do not owe this much to anyone. Out of 100 of us to set sail from England there are less than 60 left, and now were going straight into the heart of the inferno. At first the pay seemed great,10 times better than in with the Essex Regiment. But then the war erupted in the region, and I was shown the true meaning of hell, if the weather wasn't bad enough the polish mercenaries, the Tatars fight like wild animals, requiring multiple shots to bring down, and when cornered they fight with all the savagery of a caged beast. Still the food is better and we are being given alcohol and fresh food for the first time in months, and we have finally had word of our foes whereabouts and we are closing with them at last, i hope i will see my land again but something tells me i shall not. I will resume hard training with the lads tomorrow so this will be my last entry until the impending battle is over. If this is my final entry and you are reading this, i hope the death of myself and of my men served some purpose. -the last diary entry of Captain Peter Farrell before the battle of Prostki
