Joseph O'Sullivan

Joseph O'Sullivan

Joseph O'Sullivan (died August 10, 1922) along with Reginald Dunne, as a member of the Irish Republican Army, shot dead Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson on his doorstep at 36 Eaton Place in London on 22 June 1922. [Times Literary Supplement 4 May 2007 p 12] He was hanged for the killing on 10 August 1922 at Wandsworth Prison. The event provided the inspiration for the film "Odd Man Out". In 1967 Dunne and O'Sullivan were reburied in Deans Grange Cemetery, Ireland.

From Bantry, County Cork, O'Sullivan had served as a British Army lance corporal with the Royal Munster Fusiliers during the First World War and lost a leg at Ypres ["Michael Collins: A Life"; James Mackay p261] .
