#OnThisDay 1915 The London Irish Rifles went ‘over the top’ to begin the Battle of Loos. Major Beresford – blew his whistle & cried “Irish – up and over”. As they walked into No-Man’s Land, they kicked a football along till they reached the German trenches. #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.
