Can you tell me how you know about the 1798/1804 connection? Just interested in how these historical things are recorded... Did you go to the re-enactments on the weekend? I am in Montreal now, so would love to hear a report on how it all went down... Thanks Bill. Can you tell me how you know about the 1798/1804 connection?

This includes a number of the military and yeomanry, who carried with them the taste of being whipped to pieces on more than one occasion. Interesting to note that the English forces in 1798 in Wexford, a population of around 120,000 knocked off over 25,000 souls in three weeks. Goes to prove those with the biggest guns usually win. But they never were successfull, even up to today, in totally obliterating the Irish off the face of the earth, but by f**k they tried.
