Medievalist and lecturer, sometimes both at the same time.
We are looking forward to an evening lecture by writer, broadcaster and mountaineer Dermot Somers on his adventures. The lecture will take place on Wednesday 26th November at 7.30pm and all are welcome. @atumayo.bsky.social @atumayo.bsky.social @perryshare.bsky.social

For anyone who wants to have a listen to my RTE History Show chat last night about the 250,000 Irish Americans who served in the U.S. military during the Civil War, you can now listen to that section of the show here: www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...
Green and Blue: Irish Americans in the Union Military, 1861-1865
Damian Shiels joins Myles to discuss the Irishmen who fought for the Union in the American Civil War; and whose stories are revealed in forgotten U.S. pension files.
