Subject: RE: BS: BBC documentary: Irish WWII soldiers
Kevin, I am referring to the British Free Corps. Those in it were given a uniform - it was of German field grey colour, with the Union Jack on one sleeve, a collar patch of three lions or three leopards and a cuff with 'Britische Freikorps' on it. The fought for the nazi's, not against them.

Alan, "Britain wasn't at war with Ireland in WWII" that is correct, maybe the Irish Republican Army and it's supporters may not agree with you.
