  1. They were ironically some of the greatest soldiers, builders and colonists of the empire, both them and the Scots were overrepresented by far in Britain's imperial glories.

  2. The Irish, including Catholics, had a proud history of service in the British army (and a continuing one), more than earning their fine reputation as fighting men. Ironically many of the most prominent American Irish are of Ulster Irish background but have lost their roots. You are probably of actual Irish ancestry if Catholic but unless your families been in the Americas since the 17th century (like many Ulster Irish) it is almost certain that you have ancestors yourself who served under the King's colours. The one's who didn't (as in those in the long resistance of the British, rather than most of the population who like most it most times didn't care too deeply so long as they were left to themselves) left Ireland and ended up in Spanish or French colonies, if not those countries themselves.

  3. Well they proved that wrong in blood did they not.
