Synopsis:

A collective history of all the Irish regiments, past and present, who have served in the British Army with such distinction during the past 300 years; during war and peace, at home and abroad. Statistics from World War I tell us that half a million Irishmen served in the British Army representing about an eighth of the population of Ireland, one third of Britain's Field Marshals came from Ireland, and half of the ten Field Marshals of WWII had Irish origins. All aspects are covered, from the early (now disbanded) regiments to the Cavalry, Infantry, Yoemanry, Special Reserves, the Territorial Force, The Royal Artillery, Militia, Volunteer and Support Units.
