Thread Name: Help: The Foggy Dew: 'Valera true'?
Subject: The Foggy Dew -- 1916 version
I know that many people get upset with the phrase "fought with Valera true" because they consider him a traitor. I have read that alternatively, "fought with cathal brougha" can be used, but I have no idea what it means or how it sounds or why it's better. Can anyone help?
