A handbook to the events and locations of the Easter 1916 Rising. This ‘1916 bible’ will be invaluable to anyone with an interest in recent Irish history who wants to separate the facts from the fiction. Who exactly wrote the 1916 Proclamation? What typos were in the original? Who hoisted the flags above the GPO? How many women came out to fight? What was happening in the rest of the country? 1916: The Rising Handbook contains all the bite-sized facts you’ll ever need to know about the Rising, including: who organised it; the positions occupied and garrison strengths; how many people died; the weapons used; the ships and boats associated with the Rising; and the last statements of the executed leaders. Also included is a list of Easter Rising medal recipients – published here for the first time – as well as casualty lists, prisoner lists and the names of everyone who signed the 1936 Roll of Honour. If a relative of yours came out for the most important week in modern Irish history, you’ll find their name in here. A handbook to the events and locations of the Easter 1916 Rising. There are so many different versions of the story of Easter Week 1916. Lorcan Collins, an acknowledged expert on the subject and founder of the 1916 Rebellion Walking Tour, decided that it was time to put together a truthful and factually correct reference book in one handy volume. This ‘1916 bible’ will be invaluable to anyone with an interest in recent Irish history who wants to separate the facts from the fiction. 1916: The Rising Handbook offers bite-sized details about the organisations involved in the Rising, the positions occupied during Easter week, the weapons the rebels and army used, the documents that were passed around, and the speeches that were given. It details the women who came out to fight and profiles the sixteen executed leaders, as well as looking at the rebellion outside of Dublin. It also utilises three different resources to give the most comprehensive list yet of all of those involved in the Rising. If a relative of yours fought during Easter 1916, you’ll find their name in here.
