[edit] Death

Does anyone know how he died? And the cat on his birth was incorrect (it was 1888, when it should have been, I think, 1881). If anyone thinks that is incorrected please change it back and change the date of birth on other parts of the article. But I think '81 is correct. Aaрон Кинни (t) 11:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not Northern Ireland

The usual wiki practice is to reflect the situation as at the time of an event. So, in WWII articles, we refer to Ceylon, Burma, etc. In 1881, Dill's birth year, there was no "Northern Ireland" (partition occurred in the early 1920s), therefore the correct term to use, IMO, is "Ireland".

Nor taken. Just the contrary, thank you for the precision.
