#OnThisDay 1965 Sir Roger Casement was repatriated to Ireland nearly fifty years after his execution. Although Casement wished to be buried in Antrim, to prevent an escalation of sectarian tensions, he was given a State Funeral & buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.

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.
