#OnThisDay 1916 The 16th Irish Division suffered terrible losses at Hulluch on the Western Front. They were gassed by the Germans & when their gas masks failed, they died ‘in every conceivable posture of human agony’. Roughly 1000 Irishmen died that week.

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.
