Guest Lou1967 Posted 25 April , 2006 Share Posted 25 April , 2006 Many thanks for all the Interesting Reading. As an Irish person I am only recently beginning to read the accounts from the British Army view. And also only recently comming to terms with the rising as a battle or "Front" of the World War. Perhaps thats a debate for another day! The National Library of Ireland has a very informative site here for viewing but thankfully all pages can be downloaded in PDF http://www.nli.ie/1916/index.html The Irish Times newspaper also has a good section here: http://www.ireland.com/focus/easterrising/ Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
