Note 1: Acted as a dispatcher before and during the Easter Rising of 1916. She was sent to Athenry to deliver a despatch on Easter Monday. Along with Julia Grenan, they were sent around the bullet-torn streets of Dublin during the week with despatches, food and ammunition hidden in their long skirts to various stations.
Note 2: On Saturday, Patrick Pearse chose Elizabeth O'Farrell to seek surrender terms from Brigadier-General Lowe. At 12.45 pm she was handed a Red Cross insignia and a white flag and asked to deliver the surrender to the British military. She emerged into heavy fire on Moore Street which abated when her white flag was recognised.
Note 3: She was taken to Brigadier General William Lowe who sent her back to Pearse with a demand for unconditional surrender. Pearse agreed and, accompanied by O'Farrell, surrendered in person to General Lowe.

Mauser C96 Pistol and Stock from the German Empire dated to 1916 on display at the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin, Ireland
During the Easter Rising of 1916 the Rebel Irish Forces were armed with a variety of weapons from were ever they could obtain them. Some were equiped with guns from the German Empire such as this Mauser.
The weapon belonged to Lt Mick Malone who led Rebel Irish Forces to ambush British soldiers during the Easter Rising. Fast firing weapons such as the Mauser would have proved effective during street fighting in Dublin.

The Easter Rising rebellion in Ireland began on 24 April 1916 (during Easter week) as Irish Republicans fought against the British rule with hopes of establishing and independent Ireland.
Planning for the rebellion began in 1914, shortly after England had entered WWI, with hopes of catching the British government off-guard as well as securing support from Germany. They spent the next months securing funding and arms in secret. It did not go according to plan, Germany sent a ship loaded with more than 20,000 rifles for support, but the British Navy learned of the plot and intercepted the ship on 21 April. Some of the Republicans called to cancel the revolt, while others pressed to move ahead, causing confusion.
On Monday, 24 April, about 1200 volunteers gathered in Dublin, far fewer than expected, with hopes of seizing the city center, taking control of bridges, railways and roads, and cutting telephone and telegraph wires. The British response was uncoordinated at first but by the following day they had organized and gained control of the two main railway stations, which brought in thousands of troops. On Saturday, 29 April, the rebels surrendered.
More than 480 people were killed - including 260 Irish civilians, 126 British forces, 82 Irish rebels, and 40 children - and more than 2,600 injured.
A total of 3,430 men and 79 women were arrested, including 425 people for looting – with 1,500 rebels arrested. 1,424 men and 73 women were released after a few weeks, while the rest were imprisoned until June 1917.
16 rebels were executed, which increased support for Irish independence and would lead to the Irish War of Independence in 1919, which would end in stalemate 2 years later.
Mug that can apply to the American Revolutionary War of 1775 and the Easter Rising of 1916!
Mosin Nagant M91, captured by the Germans. The Germans attempted to supply these aboard S.M.S Libau. In 1916 she masqueraded as the Norwegian steamer "S.S. Aud" loaded with 20,000 rifles, a number of machine guns, and ammunition bound for Ireland to support the Easter Rising and Roger Casement. Due to a number of factors the transfer of arms did not take place. The "Aud" was trapped by a blockade of British ships and was under escort towards Cork Harbor when the German captain and crew scuttled the ship. Some of the rifles were recovered before the wreck was destroyed.
