By an Army Order (No. 77, April, 1900), "Her Majesty the Queen,
having deemed it desirable to commemorate the bravery shown by the
Irish regiments in the recent operations in South Africa, has been
graciously pleased to command that an Irish regiment of Foot Guards
be formed. This regiment will be designated 'The Irish Guards.'"
The details of the Uniform have not yet been fully settled; the Harp
and Crown appear on the buttons, and the Shamrock on the collar,
while the regimental badge is the Star of the Order of St. Patrick.
The Irish Guards commenced their public service as the guard of
honour at the reception by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, at Paddington,
of Lord Roberts, the Commander-in-Chief, on the occasion of his
return from the field of operations in South Africa, 1899-190[?].
