This is a nice little piece I thought worth scanning up, awarded to the men of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers upon in recognition of “faithful service” and for being a “member of the old regiment on its disbandment.”

Your Blog is wonderful as always particularly for us Dubs in exile. I was delighted to see the banner as my Great-Uncle Private James Mc Mahon had been in the 6th. Bn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers and had died in the Ainse in October 1918 in the “Push for Victory” 5 weeks before the end of WW1.
