Beautiful artwork. Nice to see them together, especially today.
Thanks for sharing!
 
That was the motto of The Irish Brigade and most other Irish units in the Civil War.

That goes back to the 87th Foot, later 1st Batt. Royal Irish Fusiliers, at the battle of Barossa in the Peninsular War. There the regiment was the first to capture a French regimental eagle, one which had been recently presented to the 8th Infantry Regiment by Napoleon himself.
