DrB Posted 2 August , 2005 Share Posted 2 August , 2005 I am interested in this unit as well. I have a '14 Star trio for ACpl P. Murphy, 2/RIR. The "14 Star has the bar which very well could be "dealer added." DrB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Chap Posted 2 August , 2005 Share Posted 2 August , 2005 Hi, May i recommend James Taylors book, ' The 1st Royal Irish Rifles in the Great War.' I have a copy and it is an excellent read. Jimmy is currently working on the 2nd R.I.R. book which i believe is tro be published this year. My grand father served in both Battalions in the Great War. Regards, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
