Note 224 — Chapter XII · INTERNAL ORGANIZATION OF THE REGIMENT: THE RANK AND FILE
Reading edition
In the Court-Martials on privates printed in General Orders, out of 280 trials I make out 80 certainly Irish names, and a good many more probably Irish—while there are only 23 Scots. There were certainly not four times as many Irish as Scots in the Peninsular Army, though there were more than twice as many.
