☘️1st Bn @RIrishRegiment took a pause from training in Kenya to celebrate their identity and proud history on #StPatricksDay. Troops were presented shamrocks, a tradition started by Queen Victoria in 1900 to mark the gallantry of Her Irish soldiers during the Second Boer War.

When the General speaks, everyone listens. 1st Bn @RIrishRegiment open fire during their Machine Gun Platoon cadre on Salisbury Plain. The training qualified soldiers to operate the 7.62mm GPMG - dubbed 'the General' - and the 12.7mm HMG as fire support weapons.

🚨 Eyes on the target. In the dead of night, the Anti-Tank Platoon from 1 Royal Irish set up a precision ambush, ready to take on enemy armour before it could advance. Ranger Andrews shared how every movement was planned to the second, and why operating in darkness pushes soldiers to their limits.
