"This book tells the other side of the story of the conflict in Meath during the War of Independence. How did a battalion of Welsh soldiers, commanded by a Scottish Colonel came to police English law in an Irish County? Rudyard Kipling said that of history were taught in the form of stories it would never be forgotten. These stories are important as our own story is not complete without those other voices being heard. They tell of ordinary men and women, living, loving, laughing, crying, fighting, cursing, hating, hurting, bloodletting, and sometimes dying. There are some foul deeds, mayhem, and murder. However, there is also decency and humanity aplenty and the record of the 1st Batalion SWB's speaks for itself. Many stories have been told but that of others are nearly forgotten. The struggle is to save what is left. - Back cover.
