HC Deb 20 March 1919 vol 113 c2271W
Lieutenant-Colonel M'CALMONT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether one battalion has been retained as representing the 36th (Ulster) Division in the Army of the Rhine; if so, in which division; and whether the 12th Battalion Royal Irish Regiment, shown in the officially published lists, has been mistaken for another battalion?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The 12th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles appears in the Official List as one of the Irish battalions selected for the Army of the Rhine in the Light Division. In one of the newspapers which published this list on the 8th March I find that this battalion was incorrectly shown as the 12th Battalion Royal Irish Regiment.
