Produced by Martin Robb "In the Irish Brigade: A Tale of War in Flanders and Spain" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Desmond Kennedy, a young Irishman who joins O'Brien's regiment in the Irish Brigade serving under the French during the early 18th century. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, heritage, and the struggles of Irish Catholics during a time of political turmoil. The opening of the tale introduces us to Desmond Kennedy as he meets his new comrades after being commissioned into the Irish Brigade in France. The colonel explains Desmond's family background, which is steeped in loyalty to the Stuart cause, and he realizes that, despite his father's absence, many connections still trace back to his heritage. As he acclimates to his new life, Desmond engages in discussions of political and military matters with his fellow officers, reflecting on the complex relationships between Ireland, England, and France. The sense of discontent among exiled Irishmen, alongside lively exchanges about past battles, sets the stage for Kennedy's adventures as he navigates loyalty to his king and regiment while contending with the weight of history.
