Tom Crimmins The Last Prisoner
|
| |
In the year 1910 I joined the Fianna Eireann. Our meeting place was in a room in Liberty Hall, Number 10 Beresford Place, Dublin. I was twelve years old at the time. Later I transferred to Camden Street Branch, as they were starting a piper’s band and I wanted to become a piper. In 1914 some of the older boys transferred to the Irish Volunteers. We marched with them to the meeting place in York Street. We marched in signing the Soldier’s Song . The O’Rahilly was very impressed and said that it was going to be the marching song of the Volunteers. It is now the Irish National Anthem.
In 1915, transferred to E Company, 2nd Battalion of the Volunteers, I was seventeen years old. I was not with my company during Easter Week, as they were in Jacob’s factory. I had not been mobilised that morning. I was on my way to town to meet some friends. We were going to the Dublin Mountains when I heard the news that the Rising had started. I went back home, changed into my Volunteer uniform got my rifle and 45 revolver. I said goodbye to my mother. I told her to get some extra food in the house, as I did not know how long the fight would last. I went to Liberty Hall and reported for duty. I was put on guard outside the hall. When I saw a lorry full of beef, I sent word to Frank Thornton, who was the O/C, I said we should take the lorry in the name of the Irish Republic. Then we brought it under guard to the General Post Office. We came in to the Post Office by the Princess Street side. Then I saw The O’ Rahilly for the first time. He was happy to see us and what we had with us. We were welcomed by Patrick Pearse and Jim Connolly. I was put under the command of Diarmuid Lynch. I saw The O’Rahilly many times during the week. He also had charge of the military prisoners. The British Officers relating their experiences afterwards said they were treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration.
The O’Rahilly also had his car, which was used when needed. It was wrecked after the shelling of the Post Office. Thursday April 27, the Imperial Hotel and the shops and buildings on the opposite side of O’Connell Bridge were burning. There is one thing that stands out in my memory. The Republican flag was on the northwest corner of the roof of the hotel and a green flag was on the Southwest corner. Every time the flames shot up to the roof, the green flag would fly away from the flames to the West. The fires burned all night and we could feel the heat from it across the street. Next day there was nothing but the walls of the building left standing. I looked across the street at the ruins and on the top of the Imperial there was our green flag flying. This was the same flag that James Connolly raised over Liberty Hall only one week before the Rising. I was at Liberty hall when this took place, as I was a piper in the Fintan Lawlor Pipe Band and we had played outside the hall that day. It was the Sunday before Easter. Some years ago an ex-British officer offered to sell a green flag to the Irish Government. I wrote to the Irish Press and told them the story of the flag at that time. That same flag now is in the Dublin Museum.
Friday April 28th the Post Office was under attack and fires were starting on the roof. It wasn’t long before they were spreading to other parts of the building. I was told by my O.C. to report to The O’Rahilly in the cellars. We had a lot of homemade grenades stored there and the fires were getting very close to them. The O’Rahilly had a water hose which he sprayed on the fires while we removed the grenades to a safer place. My guess of the time of day would be about three or three thirty in the afternoon. We came back up to the main floor and fought some more fires. Then Patrick Pearse and James Connolly gave the order to evacuate. The O’Rahilly said he would take an advance party ahead of the main body and try to break through. I was standing close to Pearse and Tom Clark. When The O’Rahilly asked for volunteers to go with him, I think it was twelve men that he asked for. We were to try and get to Williams and Woods or to join up with Commandant Daly at the Four Courts.
Before I left the Post Office I was asked if I would help to carry Jim Connolly out because he was wounded. I had to decline, it would have been a great honour for me, but I had already volunteered to go with The O’Rahilly. Two of my friends from the Fianna, Harry Walpole and Louie Marrie carried him out. Five of the men who went with The O’Rahilly were friends of mine. The rest I did not know. There were three killed. The O’Rahilly and a volunteer called Short the third man I didn’t know. Four others were wounded beside myself. Their names were Dick Gibson, Jack Kenny and two volunteers called Dowling and Green. All were taken to Dublin Castle to the hospital except Jack Kenny who was not taken prisoner. The O’Rahilly lined us up and Pearse said a few words. I do not remember what they were. The O’Rahilly told us to march out the side door to Henry Street and to remove a barricade that we had across the street. We were to form two ranks, and the left one was to take the left side of Moore Street. The right flank to take the right side of the street. We were not to take the centre of the street. We were to go in single file and keep close to the buildings as we charged. He said it would be either a glorious victory or a glorious death and he wished us luck. We had no support from the buildings in Henry Street, as all the men were with the main body in the Post Office and getting ready to evacuate after we left. We might have had some chance if we had supporting fire from the buildings. We did not know we were charging against machine gun fire. I think it was a Maxim gun. I could not be sure as I would have to see it.
We left the Post Office about four-thirty or five p.m. We removed the barricade, then form ranks and went to Moore Street. The O’Rahilly had a German Luger, which fitted on to the wooden stock and could be used like a rifle. We entered Moore Street. The O’Rahilly took the right side going north to Parnell Street. The man behind him by the name of Short, then the next man was Joe Gahn. We had just entered the street, when I saw a British sniper rush from a house on the opposite side of the street. I fired across the street at him and he went down. At the same moment they opened up with machine gun fire from Parnell Street. I was just about at O’Hanlon’s Fish Market at the time. I do not know if my shot got the sniper or if he went down from the machine gun fire. The man behind The O’Rahilly was killed and Gahn must have fallen over him. I got hit in the foot and at the same time the stock of my rifle was shot in two, and I was left with the barrel of the gun which was no use to me. But I still had my Colt 45. The sole of my boot was hanging on by the toe. As my boot had a rip from heel to toe. I did not go down. I followed The O’Rahilly until I got to Sackville Lane as it was called then. It is now known as O’Rahilly Parade. I got out of the line of fire and removed my boot. There were only four of us who got down this far. The O’Rahilly and myself on the right and a Fianna boy, James Saville and another man I did not know on the left. Seville called and asked if I was alright. I told him that I had been shot in the foot and not to cross the street as he would not have a chance. We were too close to the barricade. Then he asked where was The O’Rahilly was, I did not get a chance to answer him. The O’Rahilly had gone by the lane and was standing in a doorway. He made a dash to get back to the lane, when they opened up on him. He fell on the sidewalk in Moore Street and at the corner of the lane. He said he was hit in the stomach and spine. He was not able to move and in great pain. He asked me how I was. I told him I had been shot in the ankle. I knocked at the door of the Fish Market and got no answer. I then tried the pub. It was no use. I could not get an answer to my knock. Then I managed to crawl down the lane to a tenement house. Everyone had left. I got into the flat on the ground floor. The door was not locked. There was only a dog in the flat and he was friendly.
Then I went back to the Lane and to Moore Street to see if there was any chance I could get The O’Rahilly back to the tenement house. When I got there, I asked him if he could crawl over to the lane. I thought I might be able to pull him, as by this time I could not stand on my foot, and I would not be able to lift him. He ordered me to go back and take care of myself. He said I could do nothing for him and that he was finished. He did not want me to expose myself to the line of fire. Then he said his prayers out loud and asked Jesus to have mercy on him. He had been with the priest before leaving the Post Office as there had been one with the men all the week. The very last words that I heard him say, was “God help you poor Ireland.” I did not think he could live any more than an hour. I got back to the flat and gave the dog some biscuits that I had and some water. I fixed my foot up the best I could. Then I fell asleep on the bed. The next day I woke up with a start. There were three young fellows in the room and I recognised two of them. They did not know me. Their families had shops in Moore Street. Their names were Kelly and Carney. I asked them if there was a dead Volunteer officer at the corner. They said he was not dead. I asked them if there was any way they could get him into the house. They said there were British soldiers all over the place and they would let no one near him. That was sometime on Saturday morning. I had them promise they would say nothing about me. On Sunday I heard some people in the lane and I knew I had to get to a hospital. I did not know I had been in the tenement house, I had lost track of time. I asked a woman if she would help me get to a hospital. The next thing I knew, a police inspector with some high ranking British officers came in. They asked me why I had not surrendered with the rest of the rebels on Saturday. I said I knew nothing about the surrender…which was the truth. Then they wanted to know where my rifle was. I told them I had no rifle. The British officer said, “You must have a rifle because you have bullets. Give me your God damn rifle.” I told them my rifle had been smashed by machine gun bullets and I had left what was left of it in the street. Then he asked who was going to account to the King for all the British soldiers that had been shot. I said, “I wasn’t going to account for them.” And he replied. “By God, somebody is going to account for them.”
I was taken out and soldiers were ordered to take me to Dublin Castle Hospital as a prisoner. I was the last man of the G.P.O. Garrison to be taken prisoner. A few weeks after I had been placed in the hospital, a close relative of The O’Rahilly, called Sheila Humphries came to visit me, she was trying to find a gold watch that he carried. I don’t know whether or not she ever did find it. It would be my guess that it was stolen by British military personnel, since no civilians were allowed near the body. I would like to state that the best friend we had when we were prisoners in Dublin Castle was Lord Powerscourt. Any privileges that we received were arranged by him, for which we owe him many thanks.

The 1936 Roll of 1916 Rising Participants |
| The article below appeared in The Irish Times newspaper on the 25th of May 1936 and reports on the presentation of scrolls to President de Valera. The article is interesting in that it gives the numbers of those who took part in the 1916 Rising as 1599. Note that the numbers of Dead given is not the number Killed in Action during the 1916 Rising but the number of 1916 Volunteers who were dead in 1936.
The number of dead given in the article is 273 and these would have been issued with posthumously awarded Named and Number 1916 Medals in 1941. Others may have died between May 1936 and the presentation of the medal in 1941 but it gives an indication as to how many Named and Numbered 1916 Medals were awarded.
Memories of the Dead
Roll of Honour of 1916
Presentation to Mr. de Valera
To the accompaniment of rolling drums and the strains of “Dead march” Mr. de Valera, President of the Irish Free State Executive Council, yesterday received the Roll of Honour, 1916.
The scroll, bound in black tulle, bearing the name of those who fell in the fighting during the Easter Week (1916) Rising, was presented to the President by Commandant Joseph O’Connor, in the presence of several thousand people, outside government buildings, Merrion street, yesterday morning.
Afterwards Mr. de Valera received from the senior surviving officer of each garrison the scrolls bearing the name of the men who participated in hostilities, and formally handed them to Mr. Liam Gorgan, Keeper of the National Museum. The scrolls will be preserved in the museum.
President takes Salute
Standing of a raised dais, the President then took the salute from over 1,000 men, members of the different 1916 garrisons, who had marched in processional order from St Stephen’s Green, led by the St. James’s Brass and Reed band.
The President emerged from Government Buildings through a guard of honour, composed on one side by officers representing all the sections of the Regular Army and Volunteer Force, and on the other by members of the Dublin Metropolitan Guards, Civic Guards, and Detective Branch, all drawn from the ranks of 1916 men.
A detachment of the regular Army, under commandants Hegarty and McGrath, and a company of Volunteers, under Lieutenant V. de Valera, headed by the No. 1 Army band, rendered military honours, while a section of cavalry in full-dress uniform lined both ends of the street.
The crash of rifles be brought to the “Present” heralded the approach of the President, who was followed by members of the Executive Council, representatives of the judiciary, and relatives of the Easter Week leaders.
