An illustrated look at the 1916 Dublin Uprising and the part played by young, inexperienced soldiers of the Sherwood Foresters regiment which suffered terrible losses under the guns of a handful of Irish rebels. This is a moving story of heroism and tragedy on both sides of the conflict.

Retired journalist. I worked in news, sport, features mainly for regional and local newspapers with some radio broadcasting. More recently I helped to produce a nostalgia magazine called Bygones which looked at aspects of Nottinghamshire's history (but with lots of general interest) and I have been reviewing musical theatre for the Nottingham Post for more than 20 years, interviewing celebrities over the years.
