#OnThisDay 1916 Thomas Kent was executed in Cork. He had taken part in a several hour long gunfight with the RIC who were arresting local Nationalists after the Easter Rising had failed to start in Cork. His brother & an RIC officer were killed in the shootout.

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.
