The the 69th New York Infantry, or the "Fighting 69th" was the Irish Brigade consisting predominantly of Irish Americans that served in the Union Army in the American Civil War. The designation of the first regiment in the brigade continued in later wars. The Irish Brigade was known in part for its famous war cry, the "Faugh a Ballaugh", which is an anglicization of the Irish phrase, fág an bealach, meaning "clear the way".
