A Tribute


 There was a very large group of Mexicans who marched and danced in our St Patrick's Day parade as a tribute to the many Irish who fought with Mexico in the Mexican-American war. They formed the St Patrick Batallion.

    A complicated aspect of a war that is so often overlooked.

    I wonder if this is celebrated at events here in the states.

    Large numbers of Irish went to Mexico for the Mexican-American War which becomes obvious in the St. Patrick's Day parade in San Antonio, Texas.

    Oh. Such a difficult subject, so many people involved.
    Legacy, I have the poppy-seeds from Gallipoli right here.
    A strong picture you gave.
