TIRAH, 1897-8.
Colonel Lawrence’s order of June 8, 1898, with extract from the Adjutant-General’s letter exculpating the Second Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment.
(Extract.)
“I am directed by the Secretary of State to inform you that a perusal of the papers connected with the withdrawal of the 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Regiment from the field force on the North-Western Frontier has satisfied the Commander-in-Chief that a grave injustice was done to the 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Regiment when it was recalled from field service.
