4th Royal Irish Regiment pre 1914
« on: Wednesday 31 July 19 11:27 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
Researching my great grandad from wexford after noticing on one of his sons birth records he was listed as a pensioner of the 4th battalion. I  believe it may have been the extra reserves but I'm not sure. Any info about  this regiment would be a great help.
Thanks,
Laura

The 4th Battalion was a Special Reserve Battalion (part time) from 1908 - you don't say what date it was?

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
