    I think you are barking up the wrong tree, the IRA had Nazi links but so did half the landed gentry, the Monarchy and loads of MPs. At least the IRA were not traitors.

    The IRA sent a guy over for some support. Didn't get it. England's difficulty is Ireland opportunity and all that.

    And the rest. One of only seven men ever to win the DSO 4 times.

    He had the curse of the Irish/Scots though, loved the booze.

    The Distinguished Service Order (DSO) is a military decoration of the United Kingdom, and formerly of other parts of the Commonwealth of Nations and British Empire, awarded for meritorious or distinguished service by officers of the armed forces during wartime, typically in actual combat.

    All of his were in Combat.

    Forgot about that.

    What's always ignored is that Germans were kept in camps while the Allies were allowed to slip over the border.

    Pesky facts.

    Aye, Irish ancestry but claimed to be Irish, a bit like one of my heroes, Richard Francis Burton.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of the RA. In saying that, if the British Army were in a square go with, say, the French, i would then be supporting the BA.

    Heard a podcast recently about this charming lady.

    Apparently this is now a phenomenon: women desperate for a baby will kill a pregnant woman and steal the baby from their womb. The baby usually dies, but in the above case it didn't.
