#OnThisDay 1915 The RMS Lusitania was torpedoed by U-20 (which initially took Casement to Ireland) 10 miles off the Irish coast, killing 1,198 people. She was carrying 4.2 million rounds of ammo & other war materiel, which made her a valid military target.
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.
