Paperback. Zustand: Good. 172 pages. cover worn, Little has been written on Trinity College?s role in Easter Week 1916 as a ?loyal nucleus? dividing the insurgents and providing an effective counterwe ight to rebel headquarters in the GPO. This book reveals how five New Zealanders , acting as the core of a small squad of colonial troops, provided a vital shiel d to protect Trinity from capture.

He intended to reassure his flock about recent events in Ireland, which appeared to threaten the Anglo-Irish peace established a few months earlier. The half-hour speech was greeted with fervent applause by his largely Irish-Catholi c audience. A quite different reaction awaited the The New Zealand Herald's re port of the event which had Liston sneering at the British Empire, praising the dead Irish rebels, and describing the Crown forces as foreign murderers.
