[Let Erin Remember]

An interesting read. Many thanks for the link. I hadn't heard of The Duchess of Connaught's Irish Canadian Rangers. Some very good material for further research.

The more I delve into this question of the number of Irish who fought in the Great War, the more I'm convinced that the figure of 350,000 is nearer he mark. Only recently, I noted the figure of 248,000 Irishmen given on demobilisation in 1919. This was in Brigadier Brelin's book entitled "The History of the Irish Soldier"
