While over in Dublin at the weekend, we visited the National Museum at Collins Barracks, what an interesting place, particularly for any student of military history.
In one section, I came across a display on the Irish Regiment of Canada, organised in Toronto in 1915, the formation of this regiment was assisted by the Irish Club of Toronto and the Irish Rifle Club.
The regiment were the only Irish regiment to wear the kilt, a saffron kilt, from 1931.
They were accompanied throughout World War 11 by their own Pipe band and received a multitude of awards in both World wars.
Their Quick March is Garry Owen, (is that not what the seventh cavalry under Custer had? ) and their Slow March is Endearing Young Charms.

A totally fascinating few hours in this museum, well woth the visit
