The Soldier’s Song (Irish Anthem) but you’re under siege at Jadotville

The Siege of Jadotville occured in September 1961, a small contingent of Irish troops serving as part of the United Nations Operation in the Congo were besieged in the mining town of Jadotville by Katangese forces loyal to the secessionist State of Katanga. The siege took place during the seven-day escalation of a stand-off between ONUC and Katangese forces during Operation Morthor. Although the Irish soldiers resisted Katangese attacks for five days while a relief force of Irish, Indian and Swedish troops attempted to reach them, they were eventually forced to surrender. They were subsequently held as prisoners of war for approximately one month. - Many, many thanks to my kind Patrons! Hokin Sheba Kristian Nico Sasson Nick Captain Max siebold magnolia Idris N.
