Inniskillings attack Donbaik, Burma.
Having failed in its first attack against the Japanese at Donbaik, the 1st Inniskillings, now under command 55 Brigade, on 18 February 1943 again attacked Donbaik. Advancing over open ground, A and B Companies met devastating enemy fire. Small groups reached their respective objectives, but, each being isolated and without communication, little co-ordination was possible.

The Duke of Cumberland’s army, including Blakeney’s Inniskillings to the rear left in the third line, faced ‘The Young Pretender’s’ Jacobite Army on Culloden Muir east of Inverness, Scotland. Remembering the reverses at Falkirk Muir, Cumberland addressed his army saying
‘Now I don’t suppose there are any men here who are disinclined to fight, but if there be, I beg them in God’s name to go, for I would rather face the Highlanders with a thousand resolute men at my back than with ten thousand half-hearted‘.
