Irish Regiments celebrated the 12th during the war. In Richard O Dogherty's book The Sons of Ulster shows a similar parade in India in 1944 where Catholic and Protestant soldiers joined in the celebrations!!!

[@Ulster-vi4mt]

The RUR (both Catholic and Protestant) met the pope when the Ulster Rifles entered Rome. 36th Ulster Division also celebrated Lundys day in France by burning a makeshift Lundy. The relationship between Ulster/Irish culture in the armed forces is strong

[@Carrjimbo]

Still is. Rather ironically the place you are most likely to find committed unionists and fair weather nationalist work together best and looking out for one another is in the British Army.

[@bugler75]

@@Ulster-vi4mt Just for clarity, it was the 38th (Irish) Brigade (formed at Churchill’s behest) that entered Rome. It consisted of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, the Royal Irish Fusiliers and the London Irish Rifles. The Pope asked to meet a group of the brave Irish Soldiers and a mixed group of Soldiers from all Regiments and backgrounds were selected. Several men wore their sashes hidden under their battledress and at the last moment pulled them out . The Pope gave them all a blessing and to this day it is believed these were the only sashes ever blessed by the Pope. My Great Uncle Harry Mann of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers recounted this story in the 1970’s with great mirth. The RUR were otherwise busy with preparing for and participating in DDay and onwards. Respectfully yours, Ian

back in the 70s when we dismounted the castle guard in Windsor the crop of drums would always break in to the sash as we marched through the main gates, if it was the pipe band doing the dismount it would be st Patrick's day. ah the good old days of the battalion.
