#OnThisDay 1916 James Connolly, signatory of the Irish Proclamation & Commandant of the Dublin Brigade, was shot twice, once; a light wound in the shoulder & the second; a ricochet that shattered his ankle. The latter wound resulted in him giving up his active role & him being executed in a chair in Kilmainham Jail days later.

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.
