Jean, Further to your posting on the list of Irish regiments, a lister on the Lanark site sent me this little snippet. I remember that Rudyard Kipling's only child, a son, was killed in WWI, but I did not know he served with an Irish regiment. I don't know if this has anything to do with Kipling introducing one of the soldier characters as speaking with an Irish dialect. I can't remember the title, though...Gunga Din Din? Sorry I can't confirm this on the internet as my computer is dying a slow death.

Is there a way to track the Irish lads who served in the British Navy?? my Grampa supposedly served in such out of Cork Harbor around the time of the Boer Wars in Africa. Thank you for any leads.
