GPO staff in 1916: Business As Usual

by Stephen Ferguson

The 1916 Rising as told from the unique perspective of GPO staff. Post office records and photographs, many previously unpublished, reveal the importance of the role played by postal staff during that week and provide fascinating eyewitness accounts of events as they unfolded across the city center. Here, based on the official reports of various G.P.O staff, is not merely an exciting account of Post Office people in turbulent times, but also nuggets of new information that will be of interest to both historians and the many people for whom the drama of 1916 holds a special fascination.
