Summary

When the Dublin Fusiliers left Gallipoli, the focus of Dublin’s First World War shifted back to the Western Front. The 16th (Irish) Division, the military expression of Ireland’s endorsement of Parliamentary nationalism’s support for the war, had arrived there in December 1915. It would first see major action in the week following Easter 1916, at Hulluch in Belgium. Coincidentally, plans were being made in Dublin for momentous events which would take place in the same week, not only overshadowing the fighting at Hulluch but dramatically altering the course of Irish history.
