The "Irish Brigade" was an attempt by Sir Roger Casement to form an Irish nationalist military unit during World War I among Irishmen who had served in the British Army and had become prisoners of war (POWs) in Germany. Casement sought to send a well-equipped and well-organized Irish unit to Ireland, to fight against Britain, in the aim of achieving independence for Ireland. Such an action was to be concurrent with the ongoing war between Britain and Germany, thereby providing indirect aid to the German cause, without the ex-POWs fighting in the Imperial Germany Army itself.

Roger Casement souhaitait envoyer une unité irlandaise dotée d’un bon équipement et bien organisée pour combattre contre la Grande-Bretagne en Irlande pour en obtenir l’indépendance. Cette action se serait combinée avec la guerre en cours entre la Grande-Bretagne et l’Allemagne, fournissant ainsi une aide indirecte à la cause allemande, sans que les ex-prisonniers de guerre ne combattent dans l’armée impériale allemande.
