I don't think the "northern campaign 1942-1944" existed. I have checked 4 books on the time period for comfirmation of its existance and it doesn't appear in any of them.

The Secret Army: The Ira 1916-1979 - J. Bowyer Bell (1971) Irish Secrets - German Espionage in wartime Ireland 1939-1945 - Mark M. Hall (2003) The Shamrock and the Swastika - German Espionage in Ireland in WW2 - Carolle J. Carter (1977) Spies in Ireland - Enno Stephan (1963)

Its as well I didnt remove that link, it exists and the details are in J Bowyer Bell's book on the IRA. :) Thanks to Damac for finding confirmation via Republican SF. Will spend some time updating this Border Campaign article with facts and figures next week. Fluffy999 05:22, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] move from "Border Campaign (IRA)" to "Border Campaign"

We should move this article from "Border Campaign (IRA)" to "Border Campaign". There is no other article of the name, so the "(IRA)" is redundant. The standard policy is never to use redundant disambiguation words in a title. The current title will of course exist as a redirect. Aaron McDaid (talk - contribs) 17:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

One small objection, what if there are other episodes in history known as the "Border Campaign"? What do you think about IRA Border Campaign?

At the moment, there aren't any other Border Campaigns in Wikipedia. I wasn't aware of any other Border Campaigns but I've found out that the name is often used in Mexico [1]. So I suppose the names should stay as it is. I've put the Border Campaign redirect in place which is the important thing. I might put a stub for the Mexican thing now and make Border Campaign a disambiguation. Aaron McDaid (talk - contribs) 19:34, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] South & O'Hanlon

Is this acceptable as a source for the claims? Obviously the text will need amending slightly to reflect the source if it is. One Night In Hackney303 08:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
