Spirit of killed Major kept alive as Redmond's pub thrives near Flanders grave

A Belgian barman with more than a hint of an Irish accent is keeping the memory of Major Willie Redmond alive in a pub named in his honour.

Redmond's sits on a corner in the quiet village of Loker, a short walk from the graveside of the Irish nationalist who died fighting for the British Army at the age of 56 on the first day of the Battle of Messines.
