#OnThisDay 1929 The refurbished GPO reopens its doors thirteen years after it had been gutted during the Easter Rising, when it served as the Volunteers’ HQ. The building, much of Dublin’s inner city centre had been shelled by British artillery and the gunship, Helga during the week, bringing much ruin and devastation to the streets.

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.
