Summary
The first British soldier captured by the Irish Volunteers during the Easter Rising was reportedly bound with telephone wire and stowed in the General Post Office’s telephone booth. Like any anecdote about the Rising, this one is subject to multiple interpretations depending on whether one sees the Rising as a historical disaster that precipitated nearly a century of sectarian reprisals or, conversely, the opening salvo of twentieth-century decolonisation movements.
