					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m exploring another Irish unit today &#8211; Company K of the First South Carolina Infantry (McCreary&#8217;s). Formed in June 1861 as the Irish Volunteers for the War, they came largely from a pre-war militia company organized in Charleston in about 1853: the Meagher Guards. When the Guards&#8217; idol and namesake Thomas F. Meagher began recruiting [&#8230;]]]></description>

A one-stop shop for the military basics on more than 102,000 individuals. Until recently I&#8217;d consulted an online text transcription of Booth&#8217;s work, but it&#8217;s disappeared.
