re: #162 HappyWarrior

I think he was in both actually. If I recall, he played the Civil War relatiev of George Patton who was mortally wounded at Gettysburg. I thought Gettysburg was better than Gods and Generals personally. I really want someone to make a movie about the Irish Brigade personally. I have their brigade slogan: Riamh Nar Dhruid O Spairn Iann (Who has never retreated from a clash of spears) tattooed on my right arm. Recently bought a book about Thomas Meagher too. Fascinating guy. Sad story though.


One of the most moving scenes in either of those movies (again I’m not sure which one) was when the two Irish brigades faced off accross an open field. That was heart wrenching.
