The Battle of Aughrim 1691

Appendix A:
Orders of Battle

Author’s Note: Regrettably no single, definitive list exists for either of the combatant armies which fought at Aughrim. Instead we are faced with a number of contemporary documents which were drafted after the battle, most of which have as many differences as they have similarities.
