Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I uru te 1st Royal Munster Fusiliers ki ngā rārangi rārangi i Wīwī mō te wā tuatahi i te 23 o Paenga-whāwhā 1916 i te rāngai o Somme, i reira i āta hanga ai rātau i te kaha ki ngā rangatira 26 me ngā tāngata 476. I te 29 o Mei, i whakawhiwhia te roopu ki te 48th Brigade o te 16th (Irish) Division i Béthune a ka whakakahahia e nga mema o te 9th Royal Munster Fusiliers kua whakakorehia, ka kawe i te roopu ki te kaha katoa. I noho tonu nga Munsters ki te rohe o te Loos i puta mai i Akuhata me nga mate noa iho. I te wa i whakahaua ai te 16th Irish Division ki te tonga o te pakanga o Somme, ka uru te 1st Royal Munster Fusiliers ki te raina e anga ana ki te taone nui o Ginchy i te 5 o Hepetema, i te mea kua mate atu i te 200 nga mate na te pupuhi hau i te huarahi. I whai wāhi ngā Munsters ki te whakaekenga, ki te hopu toa hoki i a Ginchy
Nā te Rōpū 16, engari he nui te utu mō te patereona i whakaitihia ki te 5 rangatira me te 305 ētahi atu taumata. Ko te upoko korero o tētahi niupepa o Rānana, "Me pēhea te hopu a nga Irish i a Ginchy <unk> He whakamiharo te maia o nga hoia Irish".
