4th (Extra Reserve) Battalion

Should that read kinsale, county cork ireland or Kinsale & in county kerry

9th (Service) Battalion

There is a discrepancy here that needs clarification. Currently states that battalion was subjected to a mustard gas attack in April 1916 at the Battle of Hulluch. However the Battle of Hulluch page states that this was a chlorine gas attack, and Poison gas in World War I states that mustard gas was first used in 1917.

Victoria Crosses?

The lead claims the regiment received eight in total, but only three are mentioned in the article and the "recipients" section. Is eight correct? Scalpfarmer 20:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eight are recorded, but not all VC recipients were of Irish nationality or do not yet have a Wiki-page. Osioni 10:34, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chronological order

Would it not be best to have the battles in which 1RMF was involved in chronological order? What a rather confusing order it is in now! Wikig39 (talk) 12:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re strange comment: 1RMF battles and actions are indeed in chronological order, 1914 to 1918 Osioni (talk) 14:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, my mistake Osioni. I hadn't noticed, the first time I read the article, the separation you were making between the actions of the 1st and the 2nd (R.S.) Bns. Maybe making the break/transition clearer? Great article, btw. Wikig39 (talk) 14:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Battles of Neuve Chapelle and Aubers chronology

The section "1915: Gallipoli and the Second Battle of Ypres" says that the 2 battalion fought in the battle of Neuve Chapelle and says "The day before the attack was to be launched on 9 May, the battalion received Absolution from their chaplain, Father Francis Gleeson." But Neuve Chapelle was 10-13 March. This is in reference to the Battle of Aubers, on 9 May. The article for Father Francis Gleeson also metions the absolution being before this battle, not Neuve Chapelle. If there are no objections, I'll change this Forbioso (talk) 14:03, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
