William Redmond (Irish politician, born 1886)

William Archer Redmond DSO (16 October 1886 – 17 April 1932) was an Irish nationalist politician.

[1] He served as an MP in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as well as a Teachta Dála (TD) of Dáil Éireann.

During World War I, he served in the British Army as an officer with an Irish regiment on the Western Front.

Three other Irish Nationalist MPs also served, J. L. Esmonde, Stephen Gwynn, D. D. Sheehan and former MP Tom Kettle.

In the general election of December 1918, he was re-elected for Waterford City, becoming one of only two Irish Parliamentary Party MPs outside the six counties of Northern Ireland, and he spoke out strongly in the House of Commons against British military policy in Ireland during the Irish War of Independence.

The attempt failed and in the ensuing general election in September 1927, the party won only two seats, including Redmond.
