This page is developing very well. I just wonder if anyone can put any pictures on it. There are some excellent photos in the Denman book of Wille Redmond at different stages of his life but I don't know about copyright issues. It would be easy for a visitor to photograph the 'lonely grave.'

The article seems to lean heavily on Denman and it would be good to find other sources. A few quotes from " Trench pictures from France" might fill it out.

I can recall seeing many references to Wille Redmond in contemporary editions of Punch magazine but with a rather unfortunate tone of condescension towards anyone or anything Irish so I'm not sure if they would be worth following up.

Another point is that the 90th anniversary of the Messines attack and the death of Willie Redmond is coming up this summer. As the 80th was marked by the Island of Ireland Peace Park being opend there may well be plans for the anniversary to be marked in some way. Kusala1952 15:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Faulty Date in 'Political Career' section

In the section 'Political Career' it describes Willie Redmond's election address in '1874' when by my arithmetic he would have been 13!

I do not know the quotation about Home Rule which follows but could someone who does know its source please correct the date?

by the way it is good to see an illustration added - even if it is not one of the man himself.
