The Irish Defence Forces have a web site where they list their commands, which are apparently always given in Irish.

A Chaoimhín, do you have a link to that list. The old links I had bookmarked appear to have changed and I wasn't able to find a new one.

(A military dictionary I found has séirse beaignite for bayonet charge but no verb "to charge" listed. :S )

They don't have "charge" listed, but they do have Ar Aghaidh for "Forward". "Quick March" is Go Mear Máirseáil, but that's much more sedate and organized than a charge.

I think "On to victory!" is also made up of parts that are sedate on their own but rousing in the context, i.e., "on!" just means "forward!" but I think there are many ways to express it and there have been plenty of good ones so far. :yes:

Perhaps some review and confirmation from other members might be in order. :wave:

You're right, a Bhreandáin, the link is broken, and takes you to some sites where people are selling military clothing! I had downloaded the pdf with the commands a while back, which is what I looked at when answering. I'm not sure I still have your email, but I'm pretty sure that you have mine. If you send me an email I can reply with the pdf attached.

I've gotten in the habit of downloading interesting pdf's and sound files whenever I come across them now (when they are downloadable), because websites seem to disappear so often. I did that with the online texts from Anseo is Ansiud quite a while ago, with the sound files, and the sound files have disappeared somewhere into the ether. I also downloaded a huge amount of stuff from the Sabhail Mòr Ostaig site (Gaelic and Irish stuff), and some of that appears to be gone now.

:GRMA: Great, thanks, a Chaoimhín. I'll e-mail you.

I generally download anything I find nowadays too. :yes:

I sent the pdf. If it doesn't get there, let me know (there was a problem recently when I emailed something to another forum member).
