Matérial Losses

In presenting these statistics, gleaned from North Irish Horse records, one must remember
the cost in human lives that enables them to be listed. We honour the memory of the many
who rest forever in foreign soil, their efforts contributing to destruction and capture of enemy
equipment, far outweighing that lost by the Regiment, should never be forgotten.
