#OnThisDay 1870 Irish poet & suffragette Eva Gore-Booth was born in Lissadell House, Sligo. Eva campaigned in abolishing the death penalty & helped overturn her sister, Constance Markiewicz’s sentence to life imprisonment after the 1916 Easter Rising. She also attended Roger Casement’s trial in hope of overturning his death penalty too.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
