Collins named as Britain’s second greatest foe

Michael Collins has been named as Britain’s second greatest enemy commander, outmanoeuvred only by George Washington, in a poll conducted by London’s National Army Museum.

Collins was one of five historical figures vying for the coveted title of Britain’s Greatest Foe at an all-day event at the museum.

Experts representing each of the five spoke in front of an audience, who then cast the deciding vote by secret ballot.
