[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars The book is a history of an Irish regiment in action during a war now 100 years in the past. The author has done an incredible amount of research to bring the participants to life during a period of tremendous stress. The regiment was formed as a cavalry unit early in the 20th century and met as do reserve units do today. Meetings once or twice a month and an active duty session once every year or so.

The publisher has produced a very large number of ‘centenary books’ to mark the hundred years since the Great War, with this series being an important and popular contribution. Within the series this new book is a worthy addition. The First World War was really the third global conflict, but the first to introduce total industrial carnage – Very Highly Recommended.
