The Irish Legion (Légion irlandaise)
« on: March 25, 2016, 05:17:36 PM »
The Second Battalion of the Irish Legion (Légion irlandaise) served in Napoleons armies in Spain and Portugal throughout the Peninsular War. They helped quell the 'Madrid Uprising' when the population of the city rose up against the French, in spring 1808, at the very beginning of the Peninsular War and later fought many skirmishes against the Spanish Guerrillas around Burgos, where they were garrisoned.

As down the glen one Easter Morn to a city fair rode I ,  Where arm,ed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by,  no fife  did hum nor battle drum did sound it,s dread tattoo, but the Angelus Bell o,er the Liffeys swell rang out thro the foggy dew.
