Can someone check these edits, or can the Anon user explain their actions: Thanks Seabhcán 07:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
Can somebody clarify? If I understand correctly, the Reb Irish outfit @Marye's Hts was the 24h GA Rgt (& cf Fredericksburg Talk page). Trekphiler 08:41, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be a lack of information here. As I understand it, the Irish Brigade (especially the 69th of New York), held a pretty significant place in the Union army. I would not consider myself qualified to make additions to this piece, but if someone has more worthwhile information, please add it.
Students of the Irish Brigade might be interested in learning about the 38th (Irish) Brigade in the British Army which fought with the US Army in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. Check out the The Irish Brigade website; www.irishbrigade.co.uk. Any memories from US Army veterans about the brigade are welcome.

Please listen to this YouTube video (which goes to the tune of Old Rosin the Beau - first published in Philadetphia). This Irish Brigade was fighting for the South. Are they written up anywhere on Wikipedia? — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 14:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
I removed the following passage:
I was able to find only one reliable reference, here, which identifies the title of the song played as "The Irish Brigade" but the article does not associate it to the 69th Regiment as claimed or otherwise explain what the song was. Additionally, based on the limited coverage of this event, it is of questionable notability. Accurizer ( talk) 18:55, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
The article does make mention that the Brigade has a monument on the Gettysburg Battlefield. Of the (literally) 1000+ monuments at GNMP, that honoring the Irish Brigade is one of the best known and most moving. It features an Irish Wolfhound (maybe life size... maybe larger) laying mournfully at the foot of a large Celtic cross. I mean no disrespect when I say that most of the monuments begin to look the same, one after the other. And they tend to focus on the glory of battle rather than the pain. The Irish Brigade's in unique. Love, loss and loyalty. PurpleChez ( talk) 17:06, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
