[edit] Bib entry from Irelands VCs

Irelands VCs (up for deletion as I write this) basically contains one bibliographic entry, and it might be useful to editors of this list:

"Irelands VC's" (ISBN 1 899243 003) Published in 1995 by the community development LTD research department. Sponsored by Department of Economic Development and the Cultural Traditions Group. Research Co-ordinator Tommy Kirkham.

I figured I'd leave it here for posterity because that article will probably not survive AfD. — mendel ☎ 17:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of 168 Irish-born Victoria Cross recipients

If any subscriber to Wikipedia know of any more VC recipients born in Ireland please add their names to this list adding their birth dates and places where born.

• The Irish Daily Star's Northern Political Columnist Dr John Coulter explores the campaign to have all 168 Irish-born Victoria Cross recipients honoured by the English Queen at a ceremony in Dublin's Collins Barracks. 12 November 2005.

[edit] Comments

It seems vaguely offensive that you refer to "the English Queen"--that's Sinn Fein talk; you could have said "Queen Elizabeth II of the UK" if you wished to keep some distance between you and her.

And it is particularly offensive that any such event would be held at [Michael] Collins Barracks. 70.19.52.19 23:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

true maybe it was a ceremony for a barracks of people refusing to agree to results of voting or of an army refusing to follow its government. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kindred of St. Columba (talk • contribs) 09:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I moved the above various misc comments from the article to here where they belong ... mervyn 08:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

interesting if one looks at "ranks" crosses until 1898 before SA War. People from one particular isle stick out, by far.
