#onthisday 1919 Six IRA prisoners escape from Strangeways Prison in Manchester. The first two over the wall were MPs Piaras Béaslaí (Left) and Austin Stack(right). The escapees were aided by friendly Irish window cleaners who were “coincidentally” in the area with big ladders.

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.
