Latest additions to the Easter Rising 1916 publications collection. "Castlelyons Remembers" and "The Story of Thomas Kent" There are lots of local booklets I'm missing, so if you have one, let me know! #MOF1916

A life-saving Field Pocket Book... This belonged to Captain Annan Dickson, who was fighting with the Sherwood Foresters against the rebels in Dublin during the 1916 Easter Rising. A bullet aimed at Dickson struck his Field Pocket Book & stayed there. (Imperial War Museum)

A compensation claim for a watch this 'poor man' left into the Pillar House jewellers on O'Connell street, in the aftermath of the Easter Rising by a blacksmith living on Londonbridge Road.

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. To commemorate this day, we have written a short post about the homophobia faced by Roger Casement during his trial in 1916. It can be found on our other social media pages.

I posted Google Map pics of this over some of the past 18 years, so it's great to finally see it "as nature intended"... 🙂 x.com/MOF1916/status…

1910 letter from "The General's House, Cairo" - in which Sir JG Maxwell offers to pay for the engraving of the Duke of Connaught's Cup, if Major John Ponsonby's Mess won it "at the last Rifle meeting". (Maxwell commanded the British troops during the 1916 Easter Rising.)

Thrilled to find a book on "Diaries of the 1916 Uprising" which I don't have in the collection! Unfortunately it's about an anti-Russian uprising in Kyrgyzstan... ... and not an anti-British uprising in Ireland!

Rebel execution, 1916 A propaganda drawing from "Das Interessante Blatt", an Austrian magazine from May 1916. It's supposed to show the execution of a rebel leader from the Easter Rising, but almost everything about it is wrong... Featured on Century Ireland. Century Ireland

#CollegeGreen as you've never seen it... An image from a Victorian-era platter shows “Moores Monument & Bank of Irel”. The statue of poet, singer and songwriter Thomas Moore was erected in 1857. The manufacturer opened in 1880, so this view isn’t any later than that date.
