Irish Regiments & History Guest Book Page

Very Comprehensive, plus a personal family touch. A Tribute to all the Irish Regiments.

  Stewie

Steve, thanks for the website of Irish Regiments - it has great information - my grandfather was in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. He was also a great story teller and every day i walked the trenches with him ( Metaphorically speaking of course ) He was badly injured in Turkey and was eventually sent home - Thankfully he recovered from his physical injuries.

Steve, what a great job you have done. There is so much history that i did not know about. It has been a huge learning curve for me. After reading this in the various sections it should make us all proud to be Irish. In the army there is one thing that matters, to support your mates and be there for them in their time of need. It is called respect. Let all Irishmen from all the provinces join together in the same spirit, of mutual respect. Well done mate and congratulations on telling the truth, warts and all. Quis Separabit, Who shall Separate Us.

Hi Steve firstly let me says its a brilliant site dedicated to the brave Irish lads, well done! I had an ancestor that joined the 27th ( Enniskellen ) the year was 1795, he spent all his time fighting with the 1/27th in St. Lucia, Egypt, Sicily, Spain and America. He finally was orderly Sergeant in Gibralter mil hospl leaving the Battalion in 1827. I believe these were the best fighters bar none God Bless them all! Once again thanks for your site,

  Best Wishes, regards David.

Great website. Another page in Irish Regiments will be written as the 1st Battalion Irish Guards and the 1st Battalion Royal Irish Regiment are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. They will prove that the Irish Regiments still have high standards. QUIS SEPARABIT/FAUGH A BALLAGH.

Hi to you, just to say i enjoyed your site. Also not to forget the many Irish citizens who worked in the factories during World War 2. My mum and dad ( r.i.p. ) met in an armament factory in Birmingham when during a work break, she danced an Irish jig on one of the work benches. Again thanks for the website.

Hi Steve, great site. Do you plan to cover the Canadian, South African and other overseas Irish Regiments ?

Hi Steve, Great Site - My Grandad served in the Connaught Rangers - India and the First World War. He was Patrick Murtagh - born in Roscommon and lived - when he was home from wars - in Stokestown. I know little of him, other than he died at age 56 in Stokestown from Malaria as a result of overseas service. I think he also served in Afghanistan in one of Britain's earlier adventures. I would love to know more about him as he died before i was born.
Best regards to all my other countrymen.

Hi there Steve. Thank you so much for the site. I had my great grand father in the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Irish Fusiliers and received the Egyptian medal in 1882 and the bronze star in 1884. He died in 1904 from cancer. I also had my great uncle who was 1st Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers and was killed in action in Flanders on the 18th August 1917. He was only 23. I have recently started doing the family tree ( as you do when your bored ) and it has become an addiction. I just want to learn more and more especially about the military background. I just came across your site by accident but keep up the good work, it does give a lot of information. A thought for you, if you can try to put up the regimental flags as is the one thing that i at least find very hard to understand. It just a thought. Thanks for allowing us to view this site it really is great.

Thank You!
  He Steve, I'm studying Heritage Studies at GMIT in Galway and recently had to write an essay on military history. Between the information i received from my Uncle Martin Devers, John Joseph Devers' grandaughter Paula and the information that you had posted i was able to include a great section about members of the Devers' family. Just wanted to say thank you for making it so much easier for me. I could tell from all your posts that i stumbled upon that it was quite a frustrating process for a while! Thanks agin,

  Nicola Devers.
