#OnThisDay 1798 General Jean-Joseph Humbert & 1000 French soldiers landed in Killala Bay, Mayo with the aim to revive the United Irishman rebellion. They had some successes, notably at Castlebar but surrendered in Longford. It was also Humbert’s 31st birthday.

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.
