RDF members of 28 Inf Bn travelled to New York for the St. Patrick's
Day Parade and to commemorate the 1916 Centenary. This year the
National Flag was carried up 5th Ave and was flown from St. Patrick's
Cathedral for the first time. The Reservists are held in high esteem
by the parade committee and the 69th Regiment who have awarded
them a prominent place in the parade and cathedral, which no other
military has. Photo: Comdt Peter Keenan, OC E Coy, 28 Inf Bn
