Let’s honour Great War dead as our own

I WAS interested in the letter from Dr Pat Walsh (April 26) on the justification – or lack of it – for the invasion of Gallipoli by the British and French in 1915.

I am chiefly interested, however, in the effects of Gallipoli on Ireland and Home Rule, since surely that is what still matters to us here in Ireland in 2010.

I am baffled by Dr Walsh’s use of English and British as synonyms. Surely they are not, especially when imperial ambitions are at stake.
