The tens of thousands of Irish soldiers who fought in the British
Army in World War I gained a fierce fighting reputation,
distinguishing themselves at Ypres, Gallipoli, the Somme, and
Palestine. On the first day of the Somme, only three divisions
succeeded in achieving their objectives: the seizure of the
Schwaben Redoubt by the Ulster brigade, against all the odds,
vividly demonstrated how this reputation was won.
Despite the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, Irishmen
continued to volunteer for the British Army in World War II. Again,
their war record was distinguished; units included the famous 38th
Irish Brigade who fought in North Africa and Italy, and the Irish
Guards who won a total of two Victoria Crosses, 33 Military
Crosses, and 90 other military medals.
Providing the first concise, illustrated history of the Irish
Regiments in both World Wars, this book covers their uniforms and
insignia, as well as battle histories and proud service records.
