 Not so. The defrocked Priest conversions were a NWE innovation & used extensively in Totalise, conversions of that kind in Italy began in October '44. Apologies for that brief interjection. (Nice David Fletcher article on priests & Sextons in this months CMV) Back to your scheduled thread on the Inniskilling Fusiliers. Cheers, Adam.
