County Wexford (1914–23)
(詳細はUnited Kingdom. During World War I much war-related activity took place in County Wexford, especially in Wexford's coastal waters. A number of men enlisted in the British Army from Co. Wexford died in the land war in Europe. In 1916 Wexford Rebels seized the town of Enniscorthy during the Easter Rising. Co. Wexford was very active throughout the War of Independence and later fought an especially bloody Irish Civil War.
==Enniscorthy 1916==
In 1916, a small rising occurred at Enniscorthy〔See: ''Furlong and Hayes'', pp 46 – 70.〕 on cue with that at Dublin. On Thursday, 27 April 1916, Enniscorthy town was taken over by about 600 armed patriots,〔”() Commanding Officer's Report – G.A. French, 2 May 1916", in ''Furlong and Hayes'', p 61.〕 almost without opposition in a surprise attack. They were led by Robert Brennan (journalist) (1881–1964). The rebels consisted primarily of Irish Volunteers, supplemented by members of Fianna Éireann and Cumann na mBan. Seamus Doyle and Seán Etchingham were next in command. The patriots made the Athenaeum Theatre, near Enniscorthy Castle, their headquarters, taking over the town and blocking the roads and the railway line. They surrounded the R.I.C. barracks and though shots were fired, no real attempt was made to take the barracks. Meanwhile, a force under Paul Galligan occupied the town of Ferns and some northern parts of the county. The British responded by sending a force of more than 1,000 men to retake Enniscorthy, under the command of G.A. French.〔George Arthur French (d. 1950) was a Co. Wexford native, who lived at Newbay House near Wexford town after his marriage in 1899. The fact that he was from Co. Wexford seems to have been a big influence in resolving the situation at Enniscorthy without bloodshed.〕 On Saturday, 29 April 1916, news of the general surrender in Dublin reached Enniscorthy. The rebels refused to believe it. They refused the demand to surrender and required also that the Dublin surrender be confirmed to them. They would only surrender if ordered to do so by Patrick Pearse.〔''Furlong and Hayes'', p. 46.〕 The next day, 30 April 1916, the British escorted two patriots, Seamus Doyle and Seán R. Etchingham, to Dublin to consult Pearse in Arbor Hill Prison. The order to surrender was obtained. On Monday, 1 May 1916, the Enniscorthy patriots surrendered unconditionally. There had been no fatalities and relatively little damage to property. Some of the leaders, including Robert Brennan, were sentenced to death, but all had their sentences commuted. ''Furlong and Hayes'' state that "270 were arrested, of whom 150 were interned at Frongoch in north Wales".〔 Frongoch internment camp was formerly a German prisoner-of-war camp. It was cleared of German prisoners to accommodate the Irish patriots involved in the Easter Rising, the first of whom arrived there 9 June 1916. The camp was located at Frongoch, three miles from the town of Bala in Merionethshire, North Wales.〔Coogan, ''Michael Collins'', p. 49.〕
Michael O'Hanrahan of New Ross, a member of Sinn Féin, of the IRB and of the Irish Volunteers, who played a prominent role in the Easter Rising at Jacob's Biscuit Factory, Dublin, was executed 4 May 1916 at Dublin.
