Though the BBC Source says that he completed his studies at TCD, but a more complete and authoritative source, the Cambridge Dictionary of Irish Biography has him dropping out, so the article is edited to reflect that. Petropetro (talk) 02:49, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Secretary of War" is a cabinet level American title of what is now the Secretary of Defense, and never a title for British persons. I removed the brackets.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 23:01, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
