28 October 1943, Brigadier Nelson Russell at the Trigno river:
"I went to San Giacomo to talk to the chaps. They seemed to feel 'Everybody buys it once & often twice, so it must have been our turn but – wasn’t it a pity about the wee Colonel. We’ll have to square all that.'.."

[Irish Brigade, 1942-1947 @irishbrigadeww]

27 October 1943, 38 (Irish) Brigade at the Trigno river:
"Beauchamp Butler, forward as usual encouraging his chaps, was killed by an MG bullet.
A somewhat similar fate had befallen the London Irish. Kevin O’Connor was killed by a shell & they had lost two Company Commanders."

27 October 1943, 38 (Irish) Brigade at the Trigno river:
"An unlucky mortar bomb killed Paddy Proctor & all his Platoon Commanders as they were planning to attack the final ridge. Dennis Dunn, commanding the other leading Coy, was killed by a shell."

27 October 1943, 38 (Irish) Brigade at the Trigno river south of San Salvo:

But things were fated to go badly...."

Termoli, 6 October 1943:
"The Irish Brigade had distinguished itself in this very difficult operation. Their reputation, carried forward from Tunisia & Sicily, grew in stature until, as one historian commented that ‘they became the finest fighting brigade in the British Army’..."
