#OnThisDay 1914 Britain declared war on Germany after Germany invaded Belgium the day previous. World War One had begun. 58,000 Irishmen were mobilised at once & the total number of Irish that enlisted is estimated at 205,000. Irish women participated too.
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.
