The Saint Patrick’s Battalion was a unit of primarily Irish Catholic immigrants who fought for Mexico during the Mexican–American War. Many members were former U.S. Army soldiers who deserted due to harsh discipline, anti-Catholic discrimination, and sympathy for Mexico, a fellow Catholic nation. Led by John Riley, the battalion served mainly as artillery, distinguishing itself in battles such as Monterrey, Buena Vista, and Churubusco, where it fought with notable determination.
