#OnThisDay 1887 Harry Boland was born in Phibsboro, Dublin. He was a republican politician who was in the GPO during the Easter Rising & an envoy to America during the War of Independence. Boland was fatally wounded during the Civil War in a Dublin hotel but wouldn’t name his killers to his sister as he did not wish for any further retribution or loss of Irish life.

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.
