Well....Mannock obviously did, for one!!! At the risk of putting Al's blood pressure up a few more points....I re-read Mick's biography and spotted something in this photo. About halfway down, on the left hand page......Looks like Cork to me!! Al was right...It certainly pays to read the biography..

Being born in Ireland doesn't make you Irish.

It's really very simple, if he's born in Ireland, to an English mother and Scottish father serving in the British Army, he's English regardless of WHERE he was born.
If my mother had been in New Delhi when I was born, I'd STILL be an American, not an (East)Indian. VBR, Al Lowe God save the Queen

HYPERACTIVE JimACE was overheard to SHOUT!!!!
 "The original question was "Was Mannock Born in Ireland?" Answer: YES...HE WAS!" Yes, that much is true, but my response about not necessarily being Irish, even though born in Ireland was in response to Naval10's comment of... "I always thought Mannock was Irish. After all why would an Englishman be called "Mick", when "Mick" refers to an Irishman?" So THERE!!!!. I understand they have prozac for hyperactivity too. VBR, Al Lowe

I'm a bit confused here. I thought that a person's nationality depended on where they were born. My mom's side is part German, French and Spanish. My dad's side is Irish Catholic, Irish Orangemen, and English. I was born in Canada. What does that make me? Other than trying to break up numerous fights between my cousins (I'm trying to be funny here).
Then again I'm just a rowdy colonial who's country of birth did the dirty work for the British Empire twice this century, along with so many other countries in the British "Commonwealth". Don't mind me I'm in a goofy mood. Naval 10 |
