#OnThisDay 1899 The Second Anglo-Boer War began. 50,000 Irish would serve there in thirteen infantry regiments & three cavalry units within the British Army. Three hundred Irishmen, like John MacBride, would also fight with the Boers against British Imperialism.

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.
