#OnThisDay 1916 Thomas Kent was arrested after a four hour long gun fight with the RIC, who had arrest warrants for him & his brothers, outside his home in Cork. Kent’s brother was shot dead & another was wounded. One RIC man was also killed. Thomas was arrested. He was to be executed just like the Easter Rising leaders in Dublin.

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.
