#OnThisDay 1915 1st Batt Royal Dublin Fusiliers are the first to land at V Beach at Gallipoli. Running out to no cover and under murderous Turkish fire, their casualties are so great that they will suffer 600 out of 1000 in just 48 hours.

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.
