With regard to the "surrender/false surrender" often wondered why it never seems to be put in the context of the time. As British forces did not respect the surrender of Republican forces from 1916 into 1921 and subsequently executed many who had been taken prisoner, if Republican forces as a loosely organized force were allow that to be a one way street without decimating moral among the ranks. While the narrator says it not an appropriate time to debate, however for a historian context should always trump other concerns, they were already past the point where they believed that the pursuit of their aims warranted the taking of human life. Saying "Mr. X once ate another man's leg for lunch" is quite different from saying "a desperate and emaciated Mr. X while near death once the flesh of a deceased person after months marooned on a desolate island".
Given the fact that this was recorded in the centenary year, many felt it was respectful not to discuss it in case it eclipsed the bravery of the volunteers at the time who had endured terrible hardship as we know. Yes the false surrender has been debated over the years and those who deny the British called a false surrender have been questioned by many renound historians as the claim that Barry was "Making it up" were heavily refuted with significant debate. In the 101st year we have discussed why many believe there was a false surrender in this new documentary ruclips.net/video/39aYMyc1KgU/видео.html as those who claim it didn't occur never gave a significant/worthy explanation as to why "it didn't" I suppose after 101 years, ots now left for people to make their own minds up independently.
Absolutely fantastic! John Greene as always is fantastic and the speakers really know their stuff.
We Owe these Brave Men Everything!
Thank you for uploading that. Sad that we couldn't commemorate the anniversary this year.
Please God we'll be able to do so in huge numbers this year or at least large numbers once many are vaccinated.

I agree
A brilliant radio documentary that was a great alternative to the commemoration that Covid wouldn’t allow.
Great video
I agree
