#OnThisDay 1921 A joint RIC & Black and Tans patrol was ambushed by the East Galway Flying Column led by Thomas Dunleavy at Cnocán Mor in Galway. Sgt James Murren & Constable Edgar Day (a Black and Tan from Nottingham) were killed. Sgt Murren, from Mayo, was supposed to have retired on pension a week before but due to some administrative delay or error, his papers had not arrived yet.

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.
