Hi all. I have been researching my uncle, Michael O'Brien's involvement in Easter Week 1916. He was attached to D Coy 4th Batt Dublin Brigade Irish Volunteers. I have his Pension Application and in it he states he was a member of the Firing Party at the funeral of Thomas Ashe in Sept 1917.

Thanks in advance
Joseph
