#OnThisDay 1915 Lance Corporal Peter Sands from Belfast was executed for desertion. Sands, a (year veteran) had a 4 day home pass but stayed in Belfast for 5 months. He was ‘a very good character, both in ordinary behaviour & as a fighting man.’ He was 26. #Ireland #History #WW1

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.
