    Hi Mick,

    thanks for posting the uniforms! It's great to have someone posting with a great collection of Irish militaria. As I have no clue about Irish militaria I am looking forward to learn more about it. Keep it up ;)

    Mick;

    Collar badge on the right is incorrect, do you collect Irish military insignia?
