There are too many remarkable stories and details on this page to capture in this summary but this page is an incredibly revealing editorial and journalistic insight into the deaths, chaos and shock experienced across the city during Easter week. Like most of the newspapers published in the immediate aftermath of the Rising it is completely anti-rebel and unapologetically pro-British Military.
