I remember reading stories about these Irish people's terrible experience at duffy's Cut. I won't forget that place, now. It's good that his remains will be buried in Ireland. Great historical and compassionate work by these Watson Brothers.
I remember reading about this awhile back, and am happy to learn they will get a decent burial now. Same sentiment for King Richard the III, vilified in Shakespeare's play for some 400-plus years. I submit that when your enemy tells your story after you're dead, you might not get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The young men and the young, much-maligned king all deserve respect and truth about them, in death.
