[edit] Battle of Ballinamuck

Sorry, my first edit was not intended to be minor. I've been doing minor edits for several hours and clicked minor without thinking.--File Éireann 21:39, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Surrender at discretion

Currently the article says:

The Irish fought on, not having the option of surrender.

Having presumably been given the option to surrender with the French then given I would have thought surrender at discretion and no quarter came into play under the laws of war as they were at the time. Perhaps someone who has access to a source about the the battle could expand that sentence. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 12:52, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
