e/Royal Munster Fusiliers (New Army)

Information
has gloss	eng: The Royal Munster Fusiliers was a peacetime Irish regiment of the Regular British Army up to the outbreak of World War I in August 1914. The immediate need for a considerable expansion of the British Army resulted in the formation of the New Army under Lord Kitchener. The war target was seventy divisions in all, the New Army to have thirty volunteer divisions in addition to the Regular Army, with a planned period of service of at least three years. On 7 August a general United Kingdom-wide call for 100,000 volunteers aged 19–30 was issued. The first new battalions were raised as "Service" units of Kitchener’s new K1 Army Group, which led to the formation of the 6th and 7th (Service) Battalions, Royal Munster Fusiliers (RMF) comprising the 30th Brigade of the 10th (Irish) Division, the first Irish Division ever to take the field in war, under the command of Irish General Bryan Mahon.
