#OnThisDay 1879 Around 1,300 British soldiers were killed by Zulu warriors at the Battle of Isandlwana. Outnumbered 20:1 Leitrim man Col. Anthony Durnford was blamed for this loss, though in reality Lord Chelmsford used him as a scapegoat to save his own name.
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.
