Brilliant! As an Irish Kid from Philadelphia who became a Sailor for Our Navy, Coast Guard Reserve and Finally our Customs Marine. He has been one of my Naval Heros.

Hello Mike haven't heard from you in a while. Looking foward to the next video.

The father of Argentine Navy and certainly one of our beloved heroes.....Argentina & Ireland will be forever the powerful iron fist hitting mercilessly the face of .....you know who

Thank you so much for telling the story of Michael Dwyer. I have recently found out that I am a descendant of his sister Catherine Dwyer and find his story captivating!

One of our Heroes. Respect to him and to Èirinn

Hi Mike….. my grandad was one of the crew of Sunderland DD848 that crashed into Mt Brandon. He was originally found alive after the crash but soon succumbed to the burns he suffered and sadly passed away. The Garda took them back across the border with full Military respect and most of the crew including my Grandad were laid to rest in Irvenstown. Paid a visit a long time ago to another of the crew who was laid to rest in Esher which if memory serves correct is in Surrey but might be wrong. It was a beautiful flint church. I can find loads of info on the incident but can’t find out where the actual crash site is and I would love to pay my respects to my Grandad who I never knew. Do you have any grid references?

Excellent commentary Mike;Patrick Sarsfield was a great General.Im surprised that Hollywood hasn’t made a blockbuster movie set around the raid👍

Finally a good video on Michael Dwyer

Then the irish wonder about anti-Irish prejudice... My grandad was born in 1862 so it wasn't that long ago...

Where can your book be purchased.. Your video is very interesting. Thank you.

Excellent video Mike and very well presented 👍

Hello Mike! The football club Almirante Brown, named after our hero, made a beautyfull jersey for the 2021 season with the impression of him in the front and a warship in the back with both the irish and argentine flags. It even has uniform-like stipes in the sleeves like a naval uniform. You should check it out, it's in my opinion, one of the most beautyfull football shirts ever made.

I have heard a rumour on several occasions that admiral William brown is an ancestor of joe biden is there any substance to this rumour

You tell a good story. Very sad and treacherous indeed.

Those black irish really did create such a wonderful place we get to enjoy today. ♀️🏳️‍🌈🇨🇮❤✊🏿

RIP Kevin Barry, noble and true.

Many people find the Pill boxes built in Ireland interesting

You have bigger problems now muhammed

Carlow IS a tragic event, everyday.

Sad that the volume is so low.

Thanks for sharing. Some of my ancestors came from County Carlow and County Cork. I've never heard of this rebellion .

All dat rebellion wasted

Great history lesson, thank you! My Nolands had to leave Carlow over 200 years previous to 1798 for freedom, and to keep their heads and fled to Marylland, Pearce Noland's grandson , Ledstone Noland , served with distinction in the American Revolution, serving in Col. Smiths Regiment of North Carolina American Patroits

I grew up in Graiguecullen, where that mass grave is located. I live in Australia now. Can't believe how the Croppy grave looks without all the trees that were there years ago. Such a shame they removed the 3 huge oak trees.

A thousand years is the same as yesterday❤

There is even a football club named after him

Hero of Argentina

Where is the first plack commemorating the aircraft situated?

We argentines are truly grateful for having Admiral Brown’s heroic actions as part of our history where if not for him all the deeds may not have come to pass on our behave.

very interesting thanks

Im American-Argentinian and I did not know about this! This an an awesome and very informative vid.

Check out Irishman Admiral John Barry in the American War of Independence whose exploits against the British Riyal Navy are legendary.

Do you reckon hes somehow related to Graham Dwyer both being from Dunlavin andnamed Dwyer

Excellent documentary. I have reserached the Irish War of Independence for over 20 years. I would like to give the following facts if I may. Kevin Barry was a brave Irish young patriot who paid the ultimate sacrafice in the fight for freedom. Kevin had previously taken part in a very successful IRA attack in June 1920 at Kings Inn,Dublin where over 20 British military police were disarmed without fatalities and the IRA captured over 20 rifles and a Lewis machine gun. Kevin hoped to take part in the ambush at Monkstown in September and afterwards in the same day to be able to sit his medical exams. However the IRA operation never went to plan. Kevins gun jammed and he was under a lorry and a woman pointed at him as she was afraid he would be run over and he was obviously captured. No proof that Kevin fired any fatal shots. Kevin has been immortalised in song as the "lad of 18 summers". What gets forgotten is the British soldiers who were killed. I have researched them and they were all young and the youngest was just 15 years of age and two weeks short of his 16th birthday.This never gets mentioned by Irish historians. The 3 soldiers that were killed served with the 2nd Bn Duke of Wellington Regiment(West Riding). It was a Yorkshire regiment. The British soldiers killed were Pte Harold Washington who was just 15 and two weeks short of his 16th birthday and did not get to live "18 summers".. His older brother William was KIA in 1918 during the last year of WW1. Think of the mother who has lost two young sons in just two years which gives a real human story. Pte Marshall Whitehead was 20 years old and Pte Thomas Humphries was 19 years old. It seems that young soldiers are killed in every war and conflict. On 28th November 1920 a young IRA Volunteer named Patrick Deasy would be KIA at the age of 16 during the famous Kilmichael ambush in Co.Cork. Patricks older brother Liam was an IRA officer and would write a memoir "Towards Ireland Free". Kevin Barry was officially executed on 1st November 1920. Obviously his tender age provoked outrage. What gets forgotten is that a day later on 2nd November 1920 the British executed another young soldier at the other side of the world in India and his death was connected to what was happening in Ireland. I will give a brief synopsis. Pte Edward Daly served with the famous Irish regiment in the British Army the Connaught Rangers. It was always British policy to have Irish regiments serving far from Ireland when there was both political and military unrest on the island. Due to the horrific conduct of the Crown Forces in Ireland elemenrs of the Connaught Rangers mutinied in India. A couple were killed and Pte Edward(Ned) Daly from Co.Westmeath was executed by firing squad. One of the last British soldiers to be officially executed for the offence of mutiny. He gave his life also for Ireland but he gets forgotten about. There is a monument dedicated to the Connaught Rangers who mutineed in India at Glasnevin Cemetery,Co.Dublin. More young soldiers would be killed in Ireland. On 31st May 1921 in Youghal,Co.Cork the IRA attacked the band of the 2nd Bn Hampshire Regiment using an IED which killed 7 and wounded over 20. Three of those killed were young and they are with official army rank Boy Frederick Evans aged 17,Boy George Simmons aged 16 and Frederick Hesterman aged 15. Again the age of these young soldiers rarely get mentioned in history books on the Irish War of Independence. In early June 1921 the IRA captured 3 young soldiers from the 1st Bn Manchester Regiment and executed them and secretly buried them. They were with official British Army rank Boy Mathew Carson aged 18,Boy Arthur Chapman aged 18 and Boy John Cooper aged 16. Boy Mathew Carsons father was Irish who lived in Manchester and he was instrumental getting the 3 soldiers repatriated back to the UK after the Irish War of Independence. The father fought hard with the British government to have them get the bodies of the young soldiers home to the UK. The Irish Free State Army performed solemn military duties and protocol in respect as the bodies were brought to the docks for repatriation back to the UK. I hope the aforementioned is helpful for any student of the Irish War of Independence.

I am disappointed that you have not corrected the myths that you have presented in this video. As previously advised, your research is inadequate and does not reflect the truth in any way shape or form.

The soldiers he helped murder were younger than him.

Unbelievable..

It appears that you are ignoring the facts that have been presented to you that exposes the myths that you have promoted in this video. I re-iterate that your research is inadequate, and this video should be removed and re made with facts, not myths. I ask you to contact Michael O'Connor of Sligo, who is well credentialled in the Kelly story. He is writing a book about the three Irish police officers that Ned Kelly viciously murdered at Stringybark Creek. He will confirm my comments are factual. You do yourself and the public a disservice by not presenting a factual presentation.

I live just 2 streets over from Wolfe Tone street in Limerick, there's a stone picture of him on the wall of a pub just a the beginning of the street, I'm surprised the pub isn't named after him, it probably was at one stage

Your comments regarding Ned Kelly follow fictitious nonsense. Your research is inadequate, and this video should be pulled down and corrected with facts, rather than the fiction and myths that you have stated. Here are some corrections. 1. Ned Kelly was born in Australia and always referred to himself as Australian. 2. Constable Fitzpatrick was NOT drunk, as you claim. He had one brandy and lemonade at the Winton hotel en route to the Kelly home. 3. At Stringybark Creek, both Constable Lonigan and Scanlan were murdered by Ned Kelly without either of those officers having a weapon in hand at the time they were killed. Ned Kelly chased Sgt Kennedy through the bush for 800 yards before capturing him and learning he had 5 small children and his wife was pregnant. Kelly took a 12 gauge shotgun and at pointblank range shot Kennedy in the chest, killing him instantly. It was a horrific murder that branded him with infamy. All the police Kelly murdered at Stringybark Creek were IRISH. 4. You claim a robbing spree. They robbed two banks. Hardly a robbing spree. 5. You claim the police had significant numbers. There were 7 Victorian police with their supervisor and 5 Qld black trackers and their supervisor at Glenrowan at 3.15am. 6. Ned Kelly opened fire on the police as they approached the Glenrowan Inn at 3.15am. Police returned fire and Kelly was hit in the left arm and right foot. He walked back inside the hotel and went immediately out the back door, walked 150 yards and lay down behind a fallen log and remained thee until 7am when he rose and attacked the police from behind. At this time, more than 30 police were at the scene. Sgt Steele brought him down by firing at his exposed legs. Joe Byrne was hit in the groin by a police bullet at 5am and died of blood loss. Dan Kelly and Steve Hart died by unknown means. 7. Ned Kelly was not found guilty of the murder of 3 police officers. He was charged with the murders of Constable Lonigan and Scanlan, but only the charge of Lonigan was proceeded with. He was found guilty of murdering Lonigan. 8. Your claim of 32,000 signatures on a petition for clemency is not true. That document is still in possession of Records Victoria, and there are no more than 3-4,000 genuine signatures on that document. 9. The words, Such is Life, were not uttered by Ned Kelly on the gallows. A journalist called Jim Middleton made up those words to embellish his story. Fictitious rot, again. Your presentation is not true in any sense regarding Ned Kelly.

When we were all still young enough to be living at home & dared to complain about something of no real consequence, my father would give us, at least, one verse & chorus of, "Kevin Barry". The cruelty of the "Black & Tans", especially, was horrific. Regardless, I also regard it horrific that the paramilitaries (on both sides) didn't care what your religious or political beliefs were. They shot, bombed & destroyed the homes & workplaces of everyone. As a toddler, I was standing in the middle of my home city, Doire, holding my mother's hand, waiting for my daddy to leave work one Saturday afternoon. I was blown sky-high by a bomb, claimed by the I.R.A. I was left maimed & deaf. We have a beautiful island & killing innocent people, just going about their business, to keep a roof over their childrens' heads & food on the table is not a brave or smart way to go!

I’m 72 and I remember going their when I was a child. Thanks for your videos🙏

The heroes like Kevin must be spinning in their graves at the bunch of traitors we have “running” our beautiful country into the ground😭 Our Government and media are now our oppressors👊 Did they die in vain or will we rise up and fight for the future generations?

Well done on an excellent video✅🇨🇮

Yes a real heto who shot a boy soldier in the back of the heaf. What a scumbag.

King John's Castle, I don't know whey we called it Saint John's Castle?

my mum's favourite rebel song

I always knew the song but didn't know the story. Thank you for this very informative video. It must be such an honour to be related to him.
