Description
The rise of Irish nationalism and the call for Home Rule led to the 1916 Easter Rising. This was the first step toward the war for Irish independence. The rebellion was quickly suppressed with around 3,500 people imprisoned - many of whom had not even participated in the rebellion. Of those captured, 15 men were identified as the leaders and were subsequently executed at Kilmainham Jail, Dublin. This act shocked many and reflected badly on the British government.As martial law was imposed across the country around 1,800 prisoners were assembled and transferred to internment camps in Britain.This item tells the story of those who were imprisoned at Fron-goch
