#OnThisDay 1798 James Dickey (22), a Presbyterian United Irishmen leader was executed in Belfast. Dickey refused a hood from the hangman & apparently said to the crowd, “Don’t think gentlemen, I am ashamed to show my face among you, I am dying for my country!”
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.
