IRISH GUARDS Two-Tone COFFEE MUG
The Irish Guards (IG), part of the Guards Division, is a Foot Guards regiment of the British Army. Along with the Royal Irish Regiment, it is one of the two Irish regiments remaining in the British Army.[1][2][3] The Irish Guards recruit in Northern Ireland [4] and the Irish neighborhoods of major British cities.[5] Restrictions in the Republic of Ireland's Defense Act make it illegal to induce, procure or persuade enlistment of any citizen of the Republic of Ireland into the military of another state,[6] however people from that country do enlist in the regiment.[7] Recently, the regiment has also seen several "non-traditional" recruits, notably Zimbabwean Christopher Muzvuru, who qualified as a piper before becoming one of the regiment's two fatal casualties in Iraq in 2003. Historically, Irish Guards officers were often drawn from British public schools, particularly those with a Roman Catholic affiliation,[citation needed] such as Ampleforth College, Downside School and Stonyhurst College. This is less common in recent times. In November 1942 Jean, Grand Duke of Luxembourg joined the British Army as a volunteer in Irish Guards.[8] One way to distinguish between the five regiments of Foot Guards is the spacing of the buttons on their tunics. The Irish Guards have buttons arranged in groups of four as they were the fourth Foot Guards regiment to be founded. They also have a prominent blue plume on the right side of their bearskins.

A good quality mug comparatively priced. I put 3 individual pictures of 3 of our grandchildren on a mug for my husband. The quality of the printing is great! He loves it! Was worth the time it took to order just for the smile on his face

I've been using the mug now for some time and I'm very happy that putting it through a dishwasher cycle numerous times has not effected the print or the look of the mug at all. The quality is very good. Great quality printing vibrant, sharp colours
