I think it's the perfect Irish name to use for this rp.

If you can give me a rank and unit than you are in.
Also, Kuliviko, please say which group you are in; Pearse's, Conolly's, or the Brits.

When it comes to small things like that you can just make them up if you want...
Madnestan

Join my 1st Battalion, it took the brunt of the fighting so your character will certainly see a lot of action.

If you meant the British army... I recon the number 26 for a British division that was quickly moved to Dublin from England. 26th Sutherland Division or something like that. But can't say for sure, really. Have check that out.

I will hook up with your First battalion then, i love action...
Drexel Hillsville

Wait, the first battalion was Irish...
Madnestan

Wait, the first battalion was Irish...
Yes? He's going to be corporal of it. I do think the rank of corporal was used in the Óglaigh na hÉireann, though I won't make a bet on that.

Oops lol, well in that case... 26th Sutherland Battalion.
[NS::]Reallydrunk
10-05-2006, 22:33
Im Brittish...
Madnestan
10-05-2006, 22:35
Oh, sorry! I didn't notice your earlier post in which you said you'd be a British soldier. I just though you wanted to be a corporal and forgot to say of which side :D

About that 26th... It was really just a guess, and even ig it was right, it was a divisional number, not a battalion. But like Drexel said, that can be made up.
