#OnThisDay 1940 ILV Isolda was sank by German planes off the Waterford/Wexford coast with the loss of 6 crew, despite having “Lighthouse Service” in letters five feet tall on its side. Isolda was bringing relief crews to other light-ships when bombed.
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.
