[QUOTE="Jockstap, post: 534517, member: 38678"] The Irish too unfortunately, I read the other day that something like 40% of British infantry were from Ireland during the Napoleonic wars, which considering Ireland's population is a ridiculous amount. Also I think the Irish still have the highest ratio of Victoria's Crosses per population of any of the home nations, which again is a bit mad. It's a pity Irish people who fought and died for the British Empire, the somme for example are more or less completely forgotten, by both sides. [/QUOTE]
