HC Deb 17 March 1884 vol 286 c46
MR. O'SHEA

asked the noble Lord the Secretary of State for War, Whether the regiment referred to as being in front of the 2nd Brigade at Tamasi, whose steadiness enabled the 1st Brigade to rally and thus saved the honour of the British Arms, was the Royal Irish Fusiliers?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

I wish the hon. Gentleman had given me Notice of that Question. I am not in a position at present to state the position of the regiments.
