I am really enjoying your channel Sir and have subscribed. Our island has produced the most ferocious warriors no matter whom they fought for. When an Irishman gives his loyalty to a cause it is unshakable! I had the privilege to be the Bugler on many occasions at these ceremonies at the Somme, Guillemont, Ypres, Flanders and Normandy. The joint efforts between the Royal Irish Regiment and Defence Forces Ireland really began at The Island of Ireland Peace Park at Messines Ridge, Belgium, in 1998 where our joint bands played together for the first time. Président McAleese was instrumental in forging this alliance and is a lady that I hold in the highest regard. She was a driving force in showing each of the two countries that the other one wasn’t as bad as people may have thought! Some of the proudest times in my life was standing at the top of the Ulster Tower sounding the Last Post and Reveille for the fallen from our Ireland. Lest we forget.
