#OnThisDay 1920 Ernie O’Malley was captured by Auxiliaries in Inistioge, Kilkenny. On him was a notebook with the names of some members of the West Kilkenny IRA Brigade who were later arrested. O’Malley gave a fake name ‘Bernard Stewart’ despite being tortured and the Auxies never discovered his true identity or how important he was. He later escaped from Kilmainham Gaol in February 1921.
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.
