The British Redcoat: St. Patrick's Day

, The official Saint of Ireland. St. Patrick was born in what is now England and was a citizen of the Roman Empire. He was kidnapped by Irish raiders and then taken back to Ireland where he lived for six years. Escaping back to England he became a Christian and then returned to Ireland to "spread the word". At the time of his death Ireland, formerly an island dominated by pagan Celtic tribes, had become almost totally Christian. Beginning with Cromwell's "New Army" in the 1600's until the late 19th century, the British soldier was known around the world for his "Redcoat". The British Redcoat fought and often died on six continents, helping to establish the largest Empire the world has ever know. The sun set on the British Empire in the mid-twentieth century but even today we still live with its legacy. The British soldier now only wears the "Redcoat" for ceremonial purposes, but he is still serving his country in the world hotspots just as his ancestors did and in many cases he can be found fighting right alongside his American cousins.
