1860

Listed Subscribers to Pope’s Tribute, Parishes Bantry, Caheragh, Drimoleague, Durrus, Cork Examiner, 8th June 1860

This was to pay for the Irish Papal Brigade in the summer of 1860. What also marked these men apart was that they were not, by and large, trained soldiers, but rather worked as farmers, labourers and in the professions. A small percentage of them had rudimentary military training, while some had served in the British army. They also counted a small number of RIC men among their ranks. They were recruited to defend the Papal States from the forces of Italian unification.
