#OnThisDay 1920 Black and Tans burst into the home of Tom Egan, a local publican in Cashla, Galway&shot him dead. This was in response to the killing of ex-High Sheriff of Galway & Land agent Frank Shawe-Taylor near Egan’s pub. Egan had no hand in Shaw’s death but was killed anyway for withholding information and not leaving the house with the masked men.
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.
