Easter Sunday: Captain Uncle Ross reads the Proclamation of Independence at the GPO

Mammy and Mammo went to see him but we stayed at home to get started on our easter eggs. The proclamation is quite long and has some hard words in it that I don't think we'll be able to read for a while yet. The next day he was in all the papers - well his hands were on the front of the Examiner. And this other photo was in the Indo. And there was one like it in the Irish Times. We call him the face of the Defence Forces now.
