The San Patrcio Battalion, also known as Irish Volunteers, "Los Colorado's" (because of the disproportionate number of red-headed soldiers): San Patricia Guards; San Patricio Company; Foreign Legion; Legion of strangers and other designations, was mainly made of immagrants to America (some of them US-Army desserters) that fought on the Mexican side in the Mexican/American War).
