Have a look at Willie Redmond's last days at the Battle of Messines in a graphic novel (comic to you and me) from Creative Centenaries, that we've been featuring at our WWIreland exhibition. Willie was killed in June 1917. There seem to be a few photos of him in the Poole Collection dated March 1918.
