Edmund O'Toole
Edmond Joseph O'Toole VC was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross,〔MR. ARCHIBALD FORBES AT THE EXHIBITION PALACE , The Irish Times, Dublin, Ireland, 16 Dec 1879, page 5, This article refers to the "prowess of the three Irishmen - "Ulundi Bill", Sergeant Fitzmaurice and Sergeant O'Toole". Forbes was a journalist who reported on Ulundi so would have most likely met O'Toole.〕〔The book of the V.C.; a record of the deeds of heroism for which the Victoria cross has been bestowed, from its institution in 1857 to the present time; (1907), Author: Haydon, A. L., Publisher: New York, Dutton, 1907, "Sergeant O'Toole, another Irishman"〕 the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
==Origins==
He was the fourth son of Charles O'Toole of Wilford, Bray, Ireland and brother of Luke O'Toole of Toole and Company, Seed Merchants.〔PRESENTATION OF THE VICTORIA CROSS AT FORT NAPIER Aldershot Military Gazette Saturday 17 April 1880 Page 3〕
He was baptised in Dublin in 1848.〔()〕 It had been previously claimed falsely that he was born at Grahamstown, South Africa, but it has been shown that he was born in Ireland of an Irish family.〔(VictoriaCross.org )〕 Several sources report his death as 1891 in Salisbury, Rhodesia〔Pioneers of Mashonaland, Darter〕 but there is a reference to him being a resident of the "Cape" in 1900.〔''Black and White Budget''. 4 August 1900, pp. 564-65〕 and Tanser states the Darter's claim that he died in 1891 is incorrect.〔A Scantling of Time - The Story of Salisbury, Rhodesia, G.H.Tanser, Stuart Manning 1965〕
He was always known as Pat or Paddy O'Toole.〔 His first name is sometimes spelt as Edmond.
