The term was used to refer to a a regiment of British soldiers recruited to serve in Ireland after the First World War. They had a reputation for being quite brutal and have been accused of many attrocities against the Irish in the years 1919-21.

Yes I did. I was in Ireland last year. And I was told by my host that he (native Irishman) never has had corn beef and cabbage. Also he says there Jamesson and Bush drunk by both Catholics and protestant ("I;ve never known an Irishman to turn either down"). But there are little people.
He must either have had a sixth sense or he was simply drunk as a hoot owl...lol...Been there ...done that...the latter that is.
About those little people? What did he see?
Although...come to think of it...I've never seen a dead leprechaun either.
Cheers!

Right the RUC- still around though less noxious
But the drink is a seperate issue. Both named for mixtures of colours.
Do you really want to throw on British/Colonial Regimental histories? It's my bag, baby...

Not a member of 22 the regiment, but do know what Hereford means ...
