Michael Mallin: Born in Dublin in 1874. He joined the army at 16. A common career for working class boys at the time. Alongside Countess Markievicz he commanded the Irish Citizen Army, becoming Chief of Staff. He took possession of St Stephen’s Green and the Royal College of Surgeons. He declined to take the Shelbourne Hotel, the dominant building overlooking the garrison, leaving the rebels fatally exposed. Machine gun fire from British positions in the hotel had, by Tuesday, forced the rebels into the nearby Royal College of Surgeons from where they surrendered that Sunday.

He was executed on 8 May 1916.
