Ahhh, and about San Patricio:

Saint Patrick's Battalion

Approximately fifty men from the Saint Patrick's Battalion (el Batallón de San Patricio or San Patricios), a group of former U.S. Army soldiers who joined the Mexican side, were executed en masse during the battle. They had been previously captured at the Battle of Churubusco. General Scott specified that they were to be hanged with Chapultepec in view and that the precise moment of their death was to occur when the U.S. flag replaced the Mexican tricolor atop the citadel.
