#OnThisDay 1917 Pte George Hanna, from Belfast was executed for desertion. He had two previous convictions in 1915 & 16. His defence was that he had lost three brothers & had not got back home since December 1914. His sister was sick & he hoped to see her.
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.
