#OnThisDay 1916 Tom Kettle, the poet & Home Rule politician, died at the Battle of Ginchy when he & the 16th Irish Division attacked the village. The Irishmen took the village but at great cost. Interestingly, Lt. Emmet Dalton was present & survived.
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.
