#OnThisDay 1921 Colonel Commandant (Brigadier General on his grave stone) Thomas Stanton Lambert was killed by the IRA in an ambush near Athlone as he & his wife and another officer and his wife were returning from a party at Killinure House. The IRA hoped to abduct him & ransom him back to the British in return for IRA prisoners but fatally wounded him and the other officer’s wife in the affray.

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.
