#OnThisDay 1796 Wolfe Tone, General Hoche & over 14,000 French soldiers attempted to land at Bantry Bay, Cork. 36 of the 43 vessels that set out from France made it there but they couldn’t land due to bad storms. It would have to wait till the summer of 1798.
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.
