[edit] Military Record

I've removed this from the article on the Orange Order. It may be of more use here:

Craig, served with 'distinction' in the [[Second Boer War]]. He served with the [[Royal Irish Rifles]], and also the [[Imperial Yeomanry]], and it was while fighting with the latter that he endeared himself to this comrades. The Irish Squadrons of the Imperial Yeomanry were badly mauled at a place called Lindley in the [[Orange Free State]] by a large force of Boer Commandos led by Piet De Wet. When the war was over, Craig presented a flag captured from the Boers to an Orange lodge in [[County Down]]. He often expressed admiration for his Boer opponents and like many Ulstermen admired the Boers for their [[Calvinist]] religion and their courage and fairness in battle.

[edit] Barryob

User Barryob restored deleted text that Craig was "staunchly anti-Catholic"; this is unsubstantiated POV and unencyclopaedic. I hope this doesn't have to go to the Administrator Noticeboard. Jill Teed 00:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Did you reed the reference beside the text [1] I thought not --Barry O'Brien entretien 01:09, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
