À==colonels== It would be nice to have links to the five colonels: Lord Mountcashel Butler, Feilding, O'Brien and Dillon,

While looking for the names I came across this site: Irish Foot Guards Which says:

1662.04 Gen. James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormonde, KG [lost colonelcy upon defecting to William III;
1662.04.23 Irish Foot Guards raised at Dublin (two bns)
1690? 500 members accompanied James II to exile in France; remainder disbanded in Ireland
1698.02.26? disbanded in France (along with all other forces of exiled James II, according to terms of Treaty of Ryswick)

Would the Irish Foot Guards be the Butler regiment of the Irish Brigade. If so was there another Butler who lead them into exile or did they just keep his name until they disbanded? I see from reading the James Butler article that the colonelcy could have been with his cousin Piers Butler, 3rd Viscount Galmoye. -- Philip Baird Shearer 20:12, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Remember Limerick and Saxon perfidy" at the battle of Fontenoy in 1745

The contention that that this war cry was not issued in Gaelic at Fontenoy because a large portion of the regiment did not speak Gaelic, is somewhat spurious. You do not need to speak the language to know a phrase or two. If you were to follow this logic, then every U.S. Marine would have to know Latin before uttering "Semper Fi(delis)"
