It is poignant that the name of a British soldier from Ireland has arisen in this thread, and when a number of Irish Republican threads are running. I wish to offend no one and enjoy a good rebel song with the best, but it is often forgotten that thousands more Irishmen were serving with the British in 1916 than were actively involved in ,say, theEaster Rising.Also, it is only in the last few years that the Dublin government has finally honoured them with a single memorial.Peace and joy to all.Keith.
