A somewhat rare piece of academic work. Despite the involvement of many thousands of Irish soldiers throughout the Napoleonic Wars, Ireland and modern Irish historians virtually ignored the Bicentenary. |

Merci, Armand. Mr. Molloy does some good work here, particularly in his use of primary sources. I'll agree with Connaught a grah regarding current Irish views of their fathers' service in previous wars. After the Great War, Irishmen in the British army came to be viewed as traitors to the burgeoning Republic. That was unfortunate enough, but then that thought was twisted further when any Irishman who had ever served in a red coat was seen as a collaborator or a traitor. My mother always said the Irish held a grudge better than any people on earth; a wise woman, her. Stay well, brothers. Mark Bois |
