#OnThisDay 1863 President Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address speech. 100s of Irish died at Gettysburg, one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. The already decimated Irish Brigade fought there & the Pennsylvania 69th held the Union line against Pickett’s Charge when other units fled.

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.
