A complicated aspect of a war that is so often overlooked.
I wonder if this is celebrated at events here in the states.
...thanks for this piece of history.
Nice banner and tribute!
Take care, enjoy your day.
Good to remember! Thanks for taking us to the parade dear. Aloha!
Pieces of history. Thanks for sharing!
A day to commemorate
Irish alongside Mexicans fighting against....well, it gets very complicated.
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.
Gotta love people who love the Irish (and allyship).
