65th Reserve Infantry Battalion (Ireland)

The 65th Reserve Infantry Battalion was a unit of the British Army, likely formed during one of the World Wars, and associated with Ireland. Reserve battalions were typically composed of men who were not fit for frontline service due to age, medical condition, or other reasons, or were used for training new recruits before they were assigned to active service battalions. These battalions generally served in a home defense capacity, guarding vulnerable points, training recruits, and providing support to other units.

Given the "Ireland" designation, it is likely that the battalion was primarily composed of Irish recruits, either conscripted or volunteers, though this doesn't preclude the presence of personnel from other regions of the United Kingdom. Due to the turbulent political climate in Ireland during the early 20th century, and the complex history of Irish involvement in the British military, further research is needed to fully ascertain the battalion's specific role, composition, and operational history.

Available information regarding the 65th Reserve Infantry Battalion is currently limited and dispersed. Details regarding its specific dates of activation and deactivation, commanders, key engagements, and internal organization are scarce and require further historical investigation within British Army records and Irish military archives. Further study would be needed to uncover records such as war diaries, personnel files, and regimental histories.
