Franco-Irish Ambulance Brigade

 * ... that a volunteer medical unit was raised in Ireland for service with the French Army in the Franco-Prussian War? "The Franco-Irish Ambulance Brigade was a volunteer corps set up in dublin in 1870 to help France in its war with Prussia" (The Old Limerick Journal)
 * ALT1:... that it is alleged that the Franco-Irish Ambulance Brigade was used as a cover to allow Irishmen to fight in the Franco-Prussian War in contravention of the Foreign Enlistment Act 1870? "The ambulance would circumvent the legislation ... the unit was implausibly large but provided adequate cover for the organisation of a breakaway volunteer corps of soldiers" (History Ireland)
