who knows anything about the catholic corps that fought for the austrians against the turks? Only thing I could find is that it was send by William III and that it was wiped out. It must have been recruited out of irish/scots/english soldiers. I can't find anything about the strength, the uniforms or where they fought. |

What a brilliant way to get rid of potential trouble makers. |

Many a campaign was made just to get rid of the soldiers, especially in the wake of a war that left larger units stranded. Not sure wether this was the case here, though. |

link Link from a John Childs book (British Army of William III) indicating that the Prince of Orange first gave Leopold I 1,800 Irish Catholics. Later a further 500 were sent. |
