Whilst I appreciate the records available on the South Irish Horse are minimal, there is a lack of information in this book when compared to a similar publication on the North Irish Horse. The honours and awards section is inaccurate with many omissions which is disappointing.

The only book on this forgotten regiment, this is a really well researched and cracking read. The author has done exceptionally well to remember Irish men who served and paid the ultimate price. Should be in every library in Ireland and England as it is an important historical documentation of the heroism of this group

I never knew this regiment existed and was piqued as another author had written a book on the North Irish Horse. The author has extensively researched this forgotten regiment and sensitively and compassionately detailed their formation, exploits and eventual disbandment. This book is an eye opener, yet another example of historical events brushed under the carpet by the Irish government of the day and afterwards. These were Irish men, of all religions who fought for the rights of small nations. Many of them sacrificed their lives. We would do well to remember them.
