THE IRISH REGIMENTS.
At the present time the Irish regiments in the British Army are freer from any admixture of foreign or non-Irish blood than any others. Not only are the Irish regiments composed of Irishmen, but the mixture of Irishmen in the English and Scottish regiments is very material. Of the 202,000 troops in the British Army last year, 158,560 were of English, 26,370 of Irish, and 16,480 of Scottish birth.
