    i wonder what matthew did before he joined the army… i’m guessing he was some kind of agricultural labourer?

      Correct! Matthew was only 16 and didn’t have a skilled trade, so he would have been listed as a labourer. His family was quite poor; they spent time in and out of almshouses thanks to his stepdad’s drinking and gambling problem. His mom worked as a maid, and when he was about 10, he started working as a hired hand to farmers in his town. Because he was fairly tall and strong for his age (and responsible), he tended to be chosen more often than any of the other boys. He’d then give all his money to his mother, except on the few occasions he bought treats for Sarah. Alas, the stepdad found their money more often than not, leading to more fights.

        oh matthew, such a sweetheart, always putting others before him 🥹

        adapting to life on the cairn farm should’ve been somewhat easy for him then!
