Portrait from 1718 of James Kirkland - an Irish Wild Geeseman who was 7 ft 1+1⁄2 inches tall
He served under Frederick William I of Prussia, known as the "Soldier King" in the Potsdam Giants - regiment composed of giant soldiers meant to intimidate the enemy (many were Irish Wild Geese).

Kirkland's fellow Irishman, the poet Tomás Ó Caiside, also served in the regiment.
