Mitchell's rank in the UVF edit

What was Mitchell's rank in the UVF? The article should state this if it is known.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:17, 26 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I just read in an article that said Mitchell was a UVF commander. I would presume this was the Shankill UVF Brigade.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:21, 26 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Cause of death edit

I haven't been able to find the cause of his death.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

It was a heart attack, so have added this to the article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:06, 26 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

East Londonderry edit

Was Billy Mitchell the "William Mitchell" who stood in East Londonderry for the PUP in 1996? I haven't been able to find any evidence either way. Warofdreams talk 16:12, 26 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Role in 1974 Dublin bombings edit

The role Mitchell played in the 1974 Dublin bombings needs to be mentioned. He and an East Belfast UVF commander allegedly stole a Ford Escort from the Docks area of Belfast. The two men drove it down to north Dublin where it was loaded with a bomb. This was the car that exploded in Talbot Street killing a total of 14 people.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:56, 3 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have since added it to the article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:52, 3 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
