Note on Ireland (section Contribution by country)

Ireland was then, as now, a partitioned island so it would be incorrect to treat the island as if it were one state. I have expanded that the Irish Free State was officially called Ireland from 1937 - but also the Gaelic name Eire. Irish Free State ought to be the subsection's title, rather than Ireland which shares its landmass with Northern Ireland, which recognises the political distinctness of what is now Republic of Ireland. I recognise that the page title is "Non-British personnel" but there could be a token mention that aircrew from the six counties of Northern Ireland are classified as "British".
