Anglo-Irish War / Irish War of Independence
I have referenced the section in this article as Anglo-Irish War given the context of it being an article on a British military formation. Links to Irish War of Independence in this context. Davidbober 15:30, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not quite sure I understand why it should be under Anglo-Irish War rather than Irish War of Independence because the Essex was a British military formation. I could misunderstand your point, however. For instance, this article also examines the Essex's role in Palestine, Turkey etc and it is not necessary to change the names of those conflicts because a British unit was involved. The objection I would have to Anglo-Irish war is that there have been very many of them, but only one war of independence and as such the latter term is much more precise, common and indicative of its importance.

That's a fair point. If I see Anglo-Irish War referenced elsewhere I will change it to refer to Irish War of Independence. Davidbober 01:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Irish War of Independence(1919-1921) section is complete fiction and will be deleted until a factual version with proper citations is submitted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.60.200.235 (talk) 17:17, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

The article states Dublin Castle were "hoping to use a combined Royal Irish Army[clarification needed] and RIC force to smash the IRA." There has been no such entity as Royal Irish Army - the correct term is surely British Army (its Irish regiments)?Cloptonson (talk) 19:03, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

--- I have photographs from three personal photo albums I picked up in a flea market, that are dated 1920 in India and written the Essex Regiment in the album, if there is any interest in this documentation. I note that in the article it states the Essex Regiment were in Turkey. No mention of India. --- — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by 2.220.115.241 (talk) 22:55, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

A Company - 1st Battalion the Essex Regiment - Pembroke Dock - October 1932
I have a photo of "A" Company, 1st Battalion the Essex Regiment, taken at Pembroke Dock in October 1932 that I am unable to upload and edit to the page. I get an error message stating the photo can't be verified/ determined - or something along those lines. If anyone is able to assist please contact me, thank you.
