"The Irish Yeomanry: A Group of Accepted Volunteers at the Royal Barracks, Dublin."
"In Ireland, where there is no Yeomanry Cavalry, recruiting has been carried on briskly, and many well-known hunting men have joined the ranks. Among the officers are men of wealth, who have cheerully volunteered to brave the rigours of the campaign."
(The Navy and Army Illustrated, 3 February 1900)

29th Battalion, Imperial Yeomanry
"'Erin go Bragh!' The Irish Horse marching past H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught."
"Here's a picture to go to the heart of Irishmen now that we are so near St. Patrick's Day - a Royal Prince with an Irish title reviewing on Irish ground a select body of men from all classes of the Green Island, who are ready and anxious to support the dignity of the Crown and of Ould Oireland.
"The Irishman is always a soldier at heart, and the true Irishman is now a British soldier heart and soul. At times he gets 'blue-mowldy' for want of a 'bating'. The right sort prefers to fight his country's battles instead of wasting his breat and his supporters' money in idle and unreal vapourings in the House of Commons.
"Many of the troopers in the ranks are young men of means and position, who would not, in the ordinary course of events, have undertaken a military career. They are of the sort that are never behind when the country needs their services. They prefer the risks and hardships of a trooper's life to any inglorious ease when men are wanted. Among them are many who have served in the Irish Hunts Yeomanry, and from them they hear the record of their gallant leader. He, on the fatal day of Lindley, although three times badly wounded, showed them an example of the steadfastness of an Irish soldier. Making nothing of his wounds, he heartened and encouraged the men under him, and only consented to surrender when to hold out would have been suicidal. All that a soldier could do was done by him, and there is not a trooper who served under him who will go forth again under his command without faith in his leader.
"The February Army List shows only four officers on the strength of the 29th Battalion of Imperial Yeomanry. It further specifies that this battalion (Irish Horse) is composed of the 131st, 132nd, and 134th Companies. It is satisfactory to know that the regiment is up to full strength, both of officers and men. It now consists of six complete squadrons of 120 rifles, or 720 rifles in all, exclusive of a machine-gun detachment.
"In the picture Lord Longford, the commandant, is on the right of H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught, the godson of that distinguished Irishman whose services will never be forgotten by his country."
(The Navy and Army Illustrated, 15 March 1902)
"Lord Longford and his brother officers. The warrant officers and staff sergeants of the Irish Horse."
(The Navy and Army Illustrated, 24 May 1902)
"All aboard. The troops safely embarked in the 'Bavarian.'"
"The Irishman is always a soldier at heart, and these 'bhoys' are all on their way to get and give thie fair share of hard knocks, provided that the Vereeniging Conference has not led to a conclusive peace, a matter which is still in doubt as we go to press. Lond Longford, who is commanding the corps, is the godson of H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught. ... We wish all a prosperous journey and a prompt return to the dear homeland."
