Redmond’s brave supporters valued the British connection

I SUGGEST to Jack Lane (Letters, October 20) that his interpretation of history is even more cynical and inaccurate than those who produced and co-authored The Tudors.

To imply the Redmondites entered the First World War under the illusion that Home Rule meant sovereign independence is an egregious distortion.

Those brave soldiers who supported Redmond valued the connection with Britain and fought to maintain it.
