You guys have a lot to learn about the history of Irish Presbyterians and republicans.

Just a little earlier in 1830, Irishmen made up 42.2% of the British Army and at this time there were more Irishmen than Englishmen in the British Army.
At this time, Ireland makes up 32.2% of the population of the UK
Irishmen comprised around one-third of the British Army in the mid-1850s.
c. 30,000 of them fought in the Crimean War, my g-g-grandfather amongst them.

Today we remember the Irish Famine, 1740-41 (Bliain an Áir / Year of Slaughter) - responsible for death of possibly as high as 20% of the population (in little over 1 year), proportionately much greater than that of the 1840s famine (across five years)

A draft order for the digging up and executing of Cromwell, Bradshaw, Ireton, and Pride
I don't believe they got around to doing Pride, but the other three were hung, the heads were displayed on spikes on the top of Westminster hall. Cromwell's came down in a storm 20 years later
