SUMMARY:Mons Stars to The Royal Irish Regiment History lecture in Cashel Library
DESCRIPTION:A new book\, Mons Star to the Royal Irish Regiment by Mary Anne Maher and Larry Scallan\, which researches soldiers mostly from Tipperary (Clonmel being the Depot of the Regiment)\, Kilkenny\, Wexford and Waterford\, was recently launched to great reception. \nThis one of a kind book details the order of deployment\, rank and alphabetical order of the regiment’s 1\,928 men who were awarded the ‘Mons’ Star medal given to men who served in France or Belgium between the day after Britain’s declaration of war against the Central Powers on August 5\, 1914 and the end of First Battle of Ypres on November 22\, 1914. \nAuthors Maher and Scallan have a long-standing shared interest in the Royal Irish Regiment due to the fact that both had a great-granduncle killed in an engagement between the regiment and the German army in Le Pilly\, France in October 1914\, where just under 180 were killed over the period of 19-31 October 1914 & where just under 400 men were taken prisoner of war. \nThe book is the culmination of four years of this research and includes details such as a post-war address for 72% of the soldiers and the names and locations of when and where over 800 men were taken prisoner of war. \nThe lecture in Cashel  library will relate details of the research undertaken and some poignant personal stories regarding some of the soldiers from Tipperary who were entitled to the 1914 ‘Mons’ Star medal. \nBooking 062-63825
