A Donegal soldier serving overseas has come up with a unique idea to raise funds for those killed or injured in the Creeslough tragedy.

Corporal John Gallagher serves with the 66th Infantry Group Undof in Syria. A native of Downings/Carrigart, Cpl Gallagher often visits the village at the centre of the explosion which occurred on October 7 in which 10 people lost their lives.
