#OnThisDay 1923 At Ballyseedy Kerry, nine Anti-Treaty IRA prisoners were tied to a land mine by Free State soldiers & the mine detonated. Eight were killed instantly but one man was blown clear & survived. This was done in revenge for the AT-IRA’s mined booby trap the previous day. It is probably the darkest day in the Irish Civil War.

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.
