Ep.354 – London Irish Rifles in the Great War

On this week's Mentioned in Dispatches podcast, Stephen Sandford explores the early history of the 18th Battalion London Regiment (London Irish) during the First World War.

He examines the battalion’s formation, recruitment, training and unique cultural identity, as well as its connections to Ireland and its first action at Loos.

This talk was recorded at the London Pride Conference, held in June 2024.
