It is a curious paradox that, while for many centuries there has been deep antagonism between the British and the Irish, the latter have fought the former`s wars with exemplary courage and tenacity. This has never been better demonstrated than when, as a result of the Irish regiments` superb service in the South African War (Boer War) at the end of the 19th Century, Queen Victoria ordered the formation of the Irish Guards in 1900 as a mark of the Nation`s gratitude. Even after the trauma of Partition, Irishmen continued to serve in Irish regiments in large numbers and the tradition continued today. Indeed during the Second World War a very significant number of the most influential generals were of Irish extraction.
