#OnThisDay 1921 The dead bodies of three British soldiers were found on the Clare-Galway border, shot by the East Clare IRA. The British said the soldiers were deserters but they were most likely spies. A note found around the neck of one of the soldiers with the words ‘Spies tried by Court-Martial and found guilty, all others beware’.
The East Clare Brigade had also captured British General Lucas (see below).
The three soldiers were:
Pvt Williams D.J
Pvt Walker W.S
Pvt Morgan T.L

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.
