This is rare footage of Ireland during times of the 1916 Easter Rising and the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921).
Last year, while my mother was cleaning out my grandmother's house, she discovered an old obituary for my great-grandfather, Patrick Deveny. The obituary revealed that he was involved in the Easter Rising.
I'd love to read it, bless him, RIP 🙏
❤🙏🏻💚🇮🇪☘️

My Granda Cassidy, ( originally from Camlough, then met my Granny and moved to Belfast ), fought in the Rising, he was anti treaty and fought during the civil war. He's mentioned in a few books and pictured in one in his uniform too. But how Ireland is now, well ; " For what died the sons of Roisin " !
My grandfather, and grand uncles were also anti treaty, and fought during the civil war. They were imprisoned, and went on hunger strike, some of them were blacklisted after the war,and could not get jobs, or pensions, and for what indeed. The north was sold out to the British,and today the country is sold out to Europe. RIP Mr Cassidy🇮🇪 and the many comrades who are long since passed, and forgotten about.❤️🇮🇪
My father paddy Coyne will never be forgotten , we found out a lot when he passed I'm proud of you paddy

I'm English and find this terrible what we did to our neighbours! I'm from Irish and Scottish decent also
Any violence for a cause is despicable and leads to permanent enmity.

Of course you are that's why you think it's terrible.

Davy thank you so much for that. We dont see enough documented footage with such detail. Love the channel keep up the good work. 🇮🇪
Thanks so much Karl!
living in England, with Irish parents i have never understood why the British have never seen through their own hypocracy in calling native irish citizans TERRORISTS.... ireland never invaded anybody but quite simply would not give in to a a hostile invader. tell me i am i deluded or wrong.
You're not wrong nor deluded you're 💯 right.
I see your name is Russell, my mother's maiden name was Russell, and an aunt of hers was a member of the Cumann na mBan, in1916 rising. Great lady 😊😊
@@Utube-l1p my father was from youghal who passed away to young my mother from cobh who is alive and well. They never hated the British and in fact respected what at the time was unacheivable in Ireland,, but home was ALWAYS Ireland and Cork,My grandfather or Pop as we called him who was 18 in 1916, captured my imagination as a very yound lad,with his storys of historic days
Ireland never invaded, but WAS invaded. Important distinction to be made here!
@@otaku1524 my point exactly
Its a tough difficult history😢😢 and using the word terrorist..they cause terror.... There are so many phrases that are thrown around.
Great footage Davy! Thank you so much! Irish in Germany.
Thank you pal!
treachery beyond belief.

My grandfather came to Dublin with a Scottish regiment dispatched to quash the 1916 rising ,he met my grandmother on his tour, they lived after independence in Grenville street off mountjoy square where they had 9 children my mother being the youngest, there were many Dubliners fighting on the British side during the Easter rising, it was anything but straightforward which is the norm for Irish history and politics. Great video 👏
Yes & they came home & fought for their country, putting their acquired skills to good work. The Irish men wemhere coerced to join the British army, under the promise that we would then aquire independence.. they were duped of course & used as cannon fodder.
Many came from poor families and were encouraged to join the army in order to make a living - purely for that reason. In fact, if we look at most wars, including what's going on today around the world, the young men who join are often very young from poor areas of their own countries - sadly.
@@SB-mm9zhIndeed. If you haven’t read it I’d recommend the novel Strumpet City by James Plunkett which covers the 1913 lockout and the beginning of WW1.
@@tonydalton459 Have read it - excellent book. In fact, have a signed copy by author. You're right it's excellent.
Great historical vid. Thank you. I would have loved to have seen this studying Irish History in school. Better late than never
How can you call someone a terrorist when they are fighting for freedom off their own country 🇮🇪
Because these freedom fighters slaughtered innocent men woman and children from both sides
Exactly.....Briitish rule for 700 years had to end..
I believe that's exactly what the British thought of the Colonists in 1776...
Its easy when you feel you're entitled, strange that, have you noticed when they go abroad they expect everyone to speak english.
Happening today in other parts of the world.
Thanks for this Davy. Amazing footage much of which I've never seen before
My grandfather was the compositer and printer of the 1916 Irish proclamation . He also was a volunteer and fought in the rising .
Why?
@Charles-t7z ahh here we have Charlie the troll with his 2 week old youtube account and his 0 subscribers...you go Charles 🤣🤣🤣
Great job unearthing this, Davy. Go raibh mile maith agat. One can and should read extensively to increase knowledge of this dramatic time in our history, but the ability to weave in some contemporary film footage really brings it all to life in a startling way. This was not that long ago. Thanks again.
This was amazing.. seeing this actual footage .. we especially noted the expressions on the faces of the people.. their true feelings clearly show…
How difficult and dangerous were these times.. seeing the actual footage puts us right back there..
So appreciated this Davy.. as the narrator said at the conclusion.. that Irelands troubles were not over., and the worst was yet to come..
We wondered if he was referring to the Civil War.. and if this documentation will follow..
And yes there were tears.. for all those who died by hunger strike.. and the hanging death of 18 year old Kevin Barry..
Also in the shots they showed of victims of the potato famine.. the Great Hunger.. could not help but wonder if members of my father’s family were among them..
His forebears immigrated to Canada.. and later to US.. which is how our family came to be in Michigan..
These documented videos press us to think and to wonder what their lives must have been like..
Thanks is not enough for what you do, Davy.. a valued service indeed it is..for all of us..
Slan mo chara..💜💙☘️
Our greatest generation ,

Excellent video, thanks for putting it together.
Great Uncle (on my mother's side) Seán Howard was mortally wounded by the British in the 1916 Rising.
Sean Bernard Howard, B. Coy., 1st Battn., 26, temple Cottages, Broadstone, Dublin, was only 17 years of age when he was fatally wounded at dawn in the Church Street area, 1916. He died in the Richmond Hospital. He was a student of brilliant attainments, taking first place in French and Irish in the Intermediate Examination. After this he went to London as a boy clerk in 1914, returned to the Land Commission, Dublin, in 1915, and transferred to the Congested Districts Board. Early in 1916, he left there and entered the Stanley Streeet Works of the Dublin Corporation. He was amember of the Fianna Pipers Band. The stone was unveiled on 24th November 1935. He was buried in the family plot in Glasnevin.
Thanks for an informative and well researched video Davy.
Wow Davy what a fantastic video thank you 😊

Excellent documentary. Concise and informative
Great video Davy thanks for sharing
What the Irish nationalists achieved can never be underestimated...they took on the world's greatest empire and won. For all its short comings had they not done what they did Ireland would have remained a dependent backwater of the UK. The English like their Irish either comedic or drunk..Collins was to prove that they were neither.
Mass migration exodus from Ireland after we go our so called Independence to English speaking countries complete contradiction
Well said friend. They were all heroes. But I think it's very sad that young people today don't remember there history 🇮🇪
They achieved less than they were going to get anyway .Country divided in two . Rule by the Catholic Church 70 years of economic stagnation.
Brilliant upload......👍
Very good to see old footage from back then and not alot around to be found. can't wait to see more of the same
The Irish will never forget. Ever.
Even Wolfe Tone was a Presbyterian in 1798

Love this. My second name is MacTreanor. We held sway over Monaghan for many years, our enemies were the O'Neills. The English invaded and one of the very few clans to refuse to bow were the MacTreanors. We banded together with the mckennas and the O'Neills, our old enemy. For centuries we rebelled and eventually our names became Traynor. During the Easter rising we fought against the british, got elected to government, and never once did we bow to English rule. It destroyed a lot of us, some left during the flight of the earls but many stayed. To this day my ancestors never gave in and same applies to the present day. I changed my name back to MacTreanor to bring back my old name.
Great footage
Fantastic archive!.
WW-1 was the war for the "Freedom for Small Nations" but England exempted Ireland, despite the fact that 200,000 Irishmen fought in the trenches of France, believing that it was for the "Freedom for Small Nations".. (English Lies)
We should have joined the Central Powers, rather than side with the Black Hand.
Good documentary. Ulsterman here - probably Irish. I don't understand why the Irish get so exercised about the English occupation from about the 12th Century. That's just how things were done then all over the world. Why do you think the Indian population of South America speak Spanish? It's called Imperialism and nobody was better at it than the English/ British. Remember the old slogan "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because it was so extensive. Of course the suffering and theft of goods from occupied countries made Britain what it used to be - a rich land of c**ts. Britain is responsible for long standing trouble in the middle East and China and just about everywhere. It's important though to look at history in the context of it's time. The creation of Northern Ireland was a reaction to an Irish state dominated by the Catholic Church at grass roots level and the North was populated by me - well Presbyterians planted from Scotland. Thank God things have changed. The most recent Troubles have encouraged some Protestants/ Unionists to think of themselves as Irish and ironically Sinn Fein is not as popular in the 26 counties as they are in the 6 making up Northern Ireland. Enough people have died for Ireland. Let's do some living. xo
Edward Carson wasn't an Ulsterman. He was a Leinsterman from Dublin..
My grandparents lived next door to Kevin Barry on Fleet Street during their first married yrs . My grandfather knew him well because of rugby .
Thank you, Davy
This is an outstanding video Davy, really interesting. Is this history taught to all republican children in school? I mean the treatment of the Irish by the British?
Thank you James! Irish history is taught, but it's more of a summary to be honest. They don't go into much detail unfortunately. There is no 'Irish History' subject in our schools, just a 'History' subject. So it's a world history class with some Irish history involved. It should involve more Irish history in my opinion.
@@davyholden I totally agree mate
Davey, this is why are songs & stories past down are super important & keep the flame burning strong within us. Hense why this government were trying to ban our songs. They got their answer at electric picnic when a huge jubilant crowd sang along with the wolf tones. The airiel scene was amazing. Eireann go bragh 🇮🇪🇮🇪
And because of this we irish have a free state and Republic now .
No you don't. You have a province of the EU.
You are part of the Global American Empire just like the rest of the West.

Because of you i learned more about Irish history than from any ither chanell. Thank you. Slan Slan
There never was a Famine as you say because there was food in the country. The Brits stole food and starved my ppl
Debunked Communist propaganda.
We never forget the mem and wemon who my grand dad was was and he did what he had to do proud Irish men he was a a lovely person who work hard all his life his family always first Willie
That's hilarious It took us 700 years or so to get the British out of Ireland, and then what do we do in our drunken sense of freedom hand our country lock stock and barrel over to Europe. Way to go guys.
kind of agree to a point, but at least Europe has Irelands back, and all Britain gave to Ireland was pain and misery in a country so much steeped and stifled in culture , community and class.,looked down upon. dont forget Britains working classes suffered the same fate from a tyrant that was the crown and westminster
@@MickRussell-jr5rfyawn more simping for the “ innocent working class Brits”.
Britain hasn't been in Ireland for 700 years
Europe. Try Islam.
Many persons who fought in 1916 were actually Protestant
First I heard that one.
My uncle James Moran was posthumously awarded a medal for his part in the raid where Kevin Barry was arrested
Barry was a terrorist.
Brilliant one day the British will have to hand the Irish back there land as they have a big job ahead now defending there own
Sinn fein translates as 'We Ourselves' not 'Ourselves Alone' as mistranslated by the film narrator.
My late maternal birth Grandmother's maiden name was Coll
Davey thank you I enjoy all your videos I do enjoy all Irish history but the 1916 means so much to me I have all my knowledge on 1916 hanging on my walls and I think now what these men and women died for we fought the English and won and what I see my country is now everybody from all over the world our gov would do good to be reminded of the 1916 heroes 29:30
David, please do the Great Famine. It was genocide and had nothing to do with potatoes! Please 🙏 ❤
Imagine all Ireland went through and to hand the country over to the European Union and open the borders is beyond comprehension Ireland is on a very very precarious path and it’s not going to be nice not one bit this nonsense will eventually blow up in the faces of those responsible
Ireland fully supports the EU.
Hopefully sinn dein are now finished politically, although you still see the dumbest of the dumb out canvassing for them, you wonder.
Really good documentary, where did you find it?
Im in the uk, 61 years old, and ill tell yas this, either from heaven, or minions on earth, its the same parasites that that are causing Division to this day.. love the video, its wonderful, and thank you
1:03 that man must be 8ft tall at the least!
That was because of the conscription for the first World War raging on in Belgium between Germany Ireland objected to the conscription and the rest is history
👌🏼
Ireland reunited with the UK on 1 January 1973.
Terrorists? What a sad joke. They were defending our country. The arrogance of these fools never ceased to amaze me 😡
They murdered civilians.
Hi davy in 100 years i wonder will there be somebody like you posting content about how the irish have fought of the hordes of african and asian hell and won !!!! Regards , great videos

Which makes it worse
And yet to this day - 6 counties are still abandoned
Not exactly under the Good Friday Agreement if a majority vote to join the Republic it can happen.
@@rapier1954 you mean not at all abandoned.
@@malahammer Abandoned??? You chose to be ever linked to Westminsiter.....there will not be a United Ireland in my time ....Long Live the Republic
I often wonder if the uprising was in 1918, just after the war. The British may have had less stomach for a fight
No it was in 1916 and planned that way as the Brits were fightining in the Great War.
only the civilian infrastructure and the education of an entire generation sufferred as with every revolution
It sad to say , they would turn in their graves if they saw the state of the country now , so many Irish gave their life’s for our freedom, even the garda are against there own people now , the last time we saw that was under English occupation.
The finest time from our uprising brothers and sisters who finally gave us our Republic and out of hands of British overloads. Over 700 + years of Colonial power was removed. We now have a stronge country with one of the best economies in the EU.
This is down to the men and women who gave their lives for our Generation. Long live our Republic !!
hopefully one day soon Ireland will be united again through peaceful means
Ireland reunited with the UK on 1 January 1973.

My Gran from County Kerry had my mother in Ireland. During the time my mother grew up in a certain border village. My mother moved to Scotland after having me where I had been brought up. Growing up I watched ww2 movies then joined the Scottish regiments not knowing of the troubles, say my mother kept me sheltered.
In the army I had been deployed to NI where family started to educate me on history. I found myself in trouble several times for not following orders.
My greatest memory was pulling this disgusting excuse for a human out of his car with his driver. They wouldn't follow instruction. The whole time he had been spitting while shouting "dont you know who I am" face down in the mud at the side of the country road.
That man had been a certain Mr Paisley.
The worst piece of sh*t I ever met.
He would have us arrested and jailed.
I'm still waiting.
My heart is still in the south where I visit family to this day.
The way the uk is going and indeed Scotland I will be moving back to the Republic
do u know when this was first Broadcast

@@pemj7360 Somebody has to keep law and order.
Imperialist brutal occupation
Yes indeed---from Wexford
So was Belfast the capital?
Often the words Tans and Auxies are used interchangeably. This is wrong as the Tans were part of the police force and the Auxies were a militia
Bring back the broke roads
The Irish State was a Vassal state of the Empire ( Rome ( religion regardless & London ( military )& Finance, etc )
The Irish state was the aristocratic 'the ones at the races playing golf etc .1916 to 1923 was all about them maintaining POWER the enemy wasn't the English people the enemy was the aristocratic in England Ireland and every other land of the Empire 'this also included America 'Germany 'France etc
Because Ireland wouldn't join in the Great Aristocratic War ( WW1) we had to be forced in like our English and German and other friends 'The working class ' 14 000 000 of our working class died in World War one so that the upper class could mantain power
I note how all MY enemy all wore uniforms 'gorilla fighters don't '
There are no heroes in this video other than the men in blindfolds and corpses
Brilliant video

As much as I dislike Dublin in the modern day, hearing the narrator call Dublin a city of the United Kingdom genetically irks me 😂
It's just how it was then.

This video says the trouble was between 1916 ? i thought that was the 80's belfast
1916 was the uprising of the birth of our Republic!! The troubles was a term used for the Belfast/Republic in the 1970's
Through his Mother Kate Coll
Phillip you said it right now look at our country tail wagging dog 😢😢
Dev did not accept the Treaty
The treaty was the Gensis of the uprising as we had pro and against treaty
The commentary and standpoint is fascinating in this. Calling the Republican army terrorists whilst the Auxies indiscriminately bombed and shot civilians. Context is key.
