#OnThisDay 1916 The SS Aud (SS Libau) carrying 20,000 rifles, 10 machine guns & ammunition for the Rising was surrounded by British warships & made surrender. The ship had no radio so could not contact Volunteers on shore to organise unloading of the cargo.

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.
