#OnThisDay 1798 at the Battle of Collooney, Sligo, Lieutenant Bartholomew Teeling charged out of the Franco-Irish line & single-handedly disabled a Crown gun by shooting the gunner, then returned to his men. This caused the French to push & the Crown retreated.
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.
