Up the Micks!
The unique history of The Micks - the Irish Guards - is chronicled in over 1000 images, starting with their formation in 1900 and taking the reader through to the recent war in Afghanistan. The two world wars are covered in detail with dramatic pictures. It is the story of a remarkable family regiment that continues to enhance the values, standards and reputation of the British infantry in an ever-changing world.
More recently, the Micks were involved in internal security duties in Palestine, Cyprus, Malaya, Aden, Northern Ireland and the Balkans. The First World War - the brick stacks at Cuinchy under fire, where O'Leary won his VC - and the Second World War - the inferno of the transport ship Chobry off the coast of Norway and the first ever German King Tiger tank seen in action brought to a halt by the Irish Guards without firing a shot. They led the way into Iraq in the Second Gulf
