"Officers of the South of Ireland Imperial Yeomanry and the South Irish Horse"


For the purpose of this page the term SIH will be taken to include each of the following British Army units. The South of Ireland Imperial Yeomanry, The South Irish Horse and the 7th Battalion (SIH) The Royal Irish Regiment. The following table is my attempt to show all those men who held commissions in the British Army and who served with one or more of the above named units.
This list gives as many officers of the SIH that I have found so far. From it's earliest time, 1902, right up to the disbandment in 1922. The position of Honorary Colonel of the regiment, was filled by the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. None other than the third son of Queen Victoria, His Royal Highness Alfred William Patrick Albert born in 1860 died in 1942.

The information in this table has been taken from various printed British Army lists. The lists I used are Harts yearly lists, which were printed up to 1915 and the official monthly and quarterly lists covering the period 1903, when the first entry was made to the last entry in 1922. The notes give further information from the printed sources. The other regiments column gives just that, in the majority of cases these were officers in retirement, who were recalled to serve in the SIH. The list is not exhaustive and I shall be adding more names, dates and notes as I discover them.
For a key to some of the abbreviations see the bottom of the page. For the main SIH page click here.
