#OnThisDay 1944 USS Mason docked in Belfast. The ship had an all African-American crew. “William Bland, also of the Mason, said, “the Irish people didn’t look on us as our skin colour. They looked on us as Americans. American fighting men.”
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.
