    Erin go bragh

    In 1847, a group of Irish volunteers, including U.S. Army deserters, joined the Mexican side in the Mexican–American War. These soldiers, known as Los San Patricios or Saint Patrick’s Battalion, flew as their standard a green flag with a harp and the motto Erin Go Bragh.[6][7] Similar flag designs have been used at different times to express Irish nationalism.[8]
