a really good article well done
Interesting, Im going to have to get this book
Long overdue, and well done. Irish soldiers fought all over the world including the Wild Geese, the U.S. Mexico, South America etc etc. If anyone wants to know more visit the superb ‘Soldiers and Chiefs’ exhibition at Collins Barracks in Dublin.
The fusilier’s arch on the green, I remember my grandmother who prayed for the boer’s and for Gandi, alway’s referred to it as traitor’s gate.
An interesting period of Irish history and its integration with Europe Nothing new about the EU ! Also some great music and songs were written about the military adventures of Irishmen abroad during this period of history Nice piece thank you
Excellent article, amazing work by the author. It’s a section of history that is generally skimmed over in universities, which negates away from the importance of the irish brigades ideology! Brilliant stuff!
I never knew that arch had stuff written in it
Fighting Irish- the extraordinary story of the Irish soldier by Tim Newark is definitely worth a read if you find this interesting.
Great piece, another book to hunt down
Make the most of it – the EU and troika has ensured that European history is going to be dull from now on
Sounds like an interesting book. So which British regiment lost it’s colours?
Look forward to reading it
have your say
