SOUTH AFRICAN IRISH REGIMENT 100 TODAY

[craigen]

The South African Irish were demobilised in July 1915. A number of men joined other units such as the 9th SAI. ...

It is the SA Irish Regiment that traces its history that way, not me.

They also claim the battle honour for SWA 1914-15.

The unit was demobilised in 1915 but was it not disestablished only in 1919? Regardless, I don't think too much can be inferred from the wartime units in which the men served after volunteering for additional service outside the Republic.

Republic, what republic, it did not exist until 1961.

Quite right Frank. Very silly mistake on my part.

But the areas where they served really are outside the Republic...

The areas where "they" served were both inside and outside of the Union.
