San Patricios a Multinational force in 1847 Mexican-American war, they carried a banner with the figure of St. Patrick emblazoned on it, and were led by a redhead Irishman named JOHN RILEY (National Heroe in México) At the Battle of Churubusco they Fought with utmost desperation but at last, their ammunition exhausted, they were over-powered, 85 survived out of a battery of 260; the rest, except for some who escaped, lay dead in the uniform of México. Battle of Churubusco: Mexico 1,800 men in this position, U.S. Army: 8,000 men (Scott forces) Mexican losses were heavy, they included 139 dead, 99 wounded, 104 officers captured-including three generals- and 1,155 soldiers taken prisioner, the cost to the United States Army on this bloody Friday was considerable: 137 killed, 979 wounded, 40 missing. Most of the loss was attributed by the Americans to the skill and desperation with which Mexican guns were served by the San Patricio Battalion. San Patricios, shadowy and obscure figures, a barely legible footnote in American history, they enjoy widespread acclaim as héroes in México, willing to fight to the death for what was obviously the losing side and feeling comfortable in the ritual and symbolism of catholicism as expressed in Mexico.
