#OnThisDay 1915 While serving with the Scots Guards George Boyd-Rochfort, from Westmeath, was in a trench with others when a German mortar landed beside them. Rochfort told his men to get down while he picked up the bomb & threw it away earning himself the Victoria Cross.

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.
