I understand that the first British non-regular units that landed in France and saw action were actually the North Irish Horse and the South Irish Horse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.157.149.93 (talk) 18:35, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Problem is North Irish Horse is entirely unreferenced, and South Irish Horse, isn't much better, and on a quick look I couldn't see any references that confirmed this. Arguably there is a distinction in that the Irish units took part as a composite regiment, whereas the QOOH were a complete formed unit. David Underdown (talk) 18:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- I believe they were part of what was called the special reserve and not a part of the T.A. Jim Sweeney (talk) 20:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

The Haldane reforms of 1908 reorganised the British Army entirely. Yeomanry regiments now became part of the Territorial Force. This legislation did not apply in Ireland. As a result the North and South Irish Imperial Yeomanry were re-designated as Special Reserve cavalry regiments. http://www.southirishhorse.com/documents/history.htm Jim Sweeney (talk) 21:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
