"Ireland that has wronged no man, that has injured no land, that has sought no dominion over others. Ireland is treated today among other nations of the world as if she was a convicted criminal. If it be treason to fight against such an unnatural fate as this, then I am proud to be a rebel and shall cling to my rebellion with the last drop of my blood."
― Roger Casement. One of the 16 executed rebels of the 1916 Easter Rising

“The Foggy Dew” by Canon Charles O’Neill, 1919, Dublin & Ireland (Performed by The Young Dubliners)
Context: The Foggy Dew is an Irish rebel song written around 1919 by Canon Charles O’Neill of County Antrim, using an older traditional melody. It was composed in the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Rising and reflects growing nationalist opposition to Irish participation in World War I under British command. The song contrasts dying for the British Empire abroad with dying for Irish independence at home, capturing a major shift in Irish public sentiment during the revolutionary period.

Irish barricaded inside the General Post Office in Dublin during the Easter Rising in 1916
Context: Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, began quietly in Dublin, with British troops on routine guard duty as the First World War raged elsewhere. Few expected unrest, and places like the General Post Office seemed destined for another uneventful day.
That calm broke when the Kimmage Garrison, led by Captain George Plunkett, appeared in the city’s southwest, marching like ordinary soldiers. In a sudden theatrical turn, Plunkett commandeered a tram at gunpoint, loaded his 52 men aboard, and coolly requested “fifty-two tuppenny tickets to the city centre,” marking the opening act of the Easter Rising.

National Volunteers practise, Dublin ,1914
Context: In the years before 1916, the organisers of the Rising quietly recruited men who already had military experience, particularly Irish veterans of the British Army and disciplined members of the Irish Volunteers. Training was deliberately low-key: drilling took place openly under the guise of volunteer exercises, while more serious preparation was handled by trusted Irish Republican Brotherhood officers within the ranks. Rather than mass conscription, the rebellion relied on careful selection, secrecy, and ideological commitment, ensuring that those chosen were willing to act despite overwhelming odds.

It was a very gripping read and I totally got drawn into the flow of the lives of the Irish women who did fight to save as many mothers and newborns as they could. - The portrait of the obstetrician and physician Dr. Kathleen Lynn is the true story of a woman with exactly that name that lived beyond the norm, was a key figure in the 1916 Easter Rising and previously was a member of the Irish suffragettes.
