Hugh Flynn
Kentucky Post, Tuesday, 24 October 1899, page 8
Walter Folliard, of Newport, who is with the 16th Infantry in the Philippines, has written a letter home in which he mentions the bravery of Walter Wellman and Hugh Flynn, Newport boys. Folliard says two Filipino spies were arrested in September on their way to Hong Kong to buy arms.
He paid 50 cents for the stamp on his letter. There is not a single case of illness in the regiment, he says.
