    How could I forget "The Micks" (regimental nickname of the IG's)?

    Thanks for that link, btw...

    Cheers,

    I saw that Todd touched on it earlier, and I've always known them on the Irish musicians and school kids. I even own a saffron traditional for on-stage formal performances.

    As for the school boys from St. Enda's, there are some hilarious tales that will remind you of Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue". They took some early beatings, but later became some notorious Irishmen in history.

    Where did you see that they were disbanded? The official Canadian Army web site shows them still on the army list.

    To paraphrase Will Rogers: All I know is what I read in the webpages.
