You are right Paul, McLeavy was working for the British but was an Irishman by birth. Click on the Marmot's Hole link at the bottom of the article for a good read about McLeavy.

Tom is seems surprising that gyopo Korean nationalist like yourself doesn't like to read about the history of Korea's royal palaces?

Great article.

Although McLeavy Brown was in the British service, he was in fact Irish born and educated.

Great story and photos though!
