KOSOVO (KFOR) - Irish Infantry Group

The Irish Infantry Group is based at Camp Clark which is near the capital  Pristina.   The Inf Gp forms  C Coy of the Finnish Battalion.   Irish personnel also serve in HQ and in Logs,   these are not to be mistaken for the Irish Infantry Group "HQ" and "Logs".  I have added the table below to show where the Irish fit into the Finnish Battalion.  The material of these badges vary.

It was proposed by C Coy to introduce a new (Irish) badge to replace the "C Coy" (Finnish issue) much the same as the Sweds had done.  The result was that the other Irish elements followed suit and four new Irish badges all with the same basic design were produced.  These badges were only worn by the 32nd Inf Gp (Apr-Oct 2006).  Badge size is 50mm x 70mm and has a velcro backing.
