theironduke1 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi Paul: This is certainly an item pertaining to the Royal Irish Fusiliers. Whether it was an official company flag or an unofficial one it may be hard to say. My guess would be unofficial for some inter company competition. The motto (Interestingly spelt the gaelic way) and the Eagle of the 8th French line (Taken at Barrossa in the Peninsular war) are all symbols of the regiment. Impossible to date, but it would be prior to amalgamation with the Inniskillings in 1968. It is now part of the Royal Irish Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Curious that the eagle's head on the flag in question faces the wrong direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
