#OnThisDay 1917 Sergeant Augustine Hackett, Connaught Rangers, from Dublin, was killed in action near Kemmel. Nearly 200 men set out on the raid, “cheerfully tucking green miniature Irish flags into their caps” but did not make it into the German lines. #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.
