Edmond Delrenne
Edmond Delrenne was a Belgian refugee who arrived in Dublin circa 1914 and remained here throughout the First World War. He exhibited four war scenes at the RHA in 1915 and 1916, giving his address as care of Dermod O'Brien, at whose home in Cahirmoyle, Co. Limerick, he stayed for a period. According to Dermod O'Brien's son, Dr Brendan O'Brien, Delrenne was in Dublin at the time of the 1916 Easter Rising and witnessed a man beside him killed by a stray bullet. www.whytes.ie
