"And as they tread the ruined isle, where dwell at rest the lord and slave, they'll wonderingly ask how hands so vile could conquer hearts so brave" Thomas Moore Inset from the excellent book "Battlefields of Ireland" My ancestors fought with General Sarsfield at the Boyne, Aughrim, Athlone, and Limerick. I am a descendant of the Wild Geese
This stirs in me the memory of the Great French General Charles Chalmont De St Ruth, who had he been successful could have changed the face of Irish History. Pressing home the advantage against the Protestant forces of Ginkel, he was decapitated by a canon ball. Following this macabre moment the balance of the battle turned in favour of the Orange invaders.
@itsibitsispiderUSMC Are you referring to the Chieftans or the Battle Of Aughrim? Would agree with you on the former, the latter wasn't too great for Nationalists.
great!
