CALENDAR OF ANNUAL EVENTS:

At the St Patrick’s Parade, Shamrock is distributed to members of No 15 (Loos) Company, the Regimental Association and the Army Cadet Force.

In either May or June, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Regimental Association is held and this is followed by the Annual Lunch. All members are welcome to attend the AGM and join the luncheon.

In June, members of the Regimental Association and the Pipes and Drums march at the Combined Irish Regiments’ Parade and Service of Remembrance in Whitehall.

On Loos Sunday, we remember the outstanding courage that the Regiment displayed during the Great War, and in particular when men of the London Irish showed their character and determination at the Battle of Loos in September 1915.

There is a Parade at Connaught House on Remembrance Sunday. In addition, the Field of Remembrance outside Westminster Abbey includes a section remembering men of the London Irish Rifles and we attend the opening ceremony on the preceding Thursday. 

In recent years, we have commemorated the Foundation of the Regiment in December with a small scale gathering at the Freemasons’ Arms in London, close to where the Regiment was founded in 1859.

In December, also, our Northern Ireland branch lead a Commemorative Service at Belfast City Hall to mark the anniversary of the Battle of Stormberg, which took place at the start of the Boer War in 1899.

Other events can be arranged at shorter notice, and you will find updated details here on this web site.
