1st Battalion Royal Irish Rifles in World War I
edit- ... that the 1st Battalion Royal Irish Rifles suffered such heavy casualties in World War I that at one point the battalion was reduced to one officer and 60 other ranks?

- Article - created new on 29 June, so new enough; 3978 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; no copy vios detected using earwig, no online refs to run through duplication detector; un-assessed, so not a stub.
- Hook - within length criteria at 166 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #5 in final paragraph of 'Somme and Passchendaele' section; and interesting.
- QPQ done; no image used.
