And how many of these brave men joined the fight against fascism nazi Germany, Over ninety thousand from the Irish Free State fought along side the alies in the Second World War, Very brave men indeed.

Our army has shrunk significantly I'd say if we continued to invest as much in the army we'd be at leased in the top 20s

Interesting that in 1939 Ireland was not yet a republic, yet they had a President. True, President of Eire was and is purely a ceremonial role but at that time he would not have been head of state - the british monarch was. So what was the president's status in 1939?

[@Jake-qc3mj]

The irish military took inspiration from the German military before ww2 they even used a helmet that looked similar to the stahlhem. After the Germans invaded poland, they switched to the British style of helmet.

[@harryb8945]

They wanted to definitively distinguish themselves from the British army so took uniform inspiration from the continent.
