Brian Buck Posted 19 August , 2006 Share Posted 19 August , 2006 Looks good - well done. About time those from the Republic who served in WW1 got more recognition. Not to be confused with http://www.greatwar.ie/ - The Royal Dublin Fusiliers Association, which I had bookmarked as Royal Dublin Fusiliers!

Steven Broomfield Posted 20 August , 2006 Share Posted 20 August , 2006 Nice work. This is off-topic, so apologies, but looking at the link to the Irish Defence force, I see that it comments that strength fell by 6,000 between the outbreak of WW2 and May 1940 - due mostly (it says), to 'financial considerations'. Now, I read, years ago, that a large proportion of the irish Forces at the outbreak of WW2 desetred in order to join the british Army: is it possible that this 6,000 drop might be the same thing? Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but couldn't think where else to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Dodd Posted 20 August , 2006 Author Share Posted 20 August , 2006 I know that quite a few did desert to join the British Army (and for other reasons) a list of which I have but the number does not appear near 6,000. Will look into it more for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 20 August , 2006 Share Posted 20 August , 2006 I'd appreciate that, Conor. I bought the history of 38th (Irish) Brigade (WW2) on holiday in Dublin last week; obviously, a lot of Southerners served, and I often wondered how many of them had been in the irish Forces pre-war. The story of the Southerner and Norhterner in a trench in Italy, under mortar fire, discussing De Valera, with the Southerner saying "whatever your opinion, at least he kept us out of this lot" was a classic! I do like the site, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
