John Walsh
John was a Civilian Casualty of the 1916 Easter Rising, which commenced in Dublin on Monday 24th April 1916.
He was a Cattle Drover, married.
He was murdered by British Soldiers of the South Staffordshire Regiment at North King Street, on Saturday 29th April 1916.
Many of The South Staffordshire Regiment had been injured and killed in the North King Street area during the Easter Rising, 19 of whom were killed.
When they finally reached O'Reilly's Public house [now known as "The Tap"] at the corner of North King Street and Upper Church Street, the Volunteers who had been based there had made their escape.
In revenge, the soldiers vented their anger on the local civilians and entered the nearby houses, shooting and/or bayoneting 16 innocent men.
John Walsh and his family had taken refuge from the fighting in Michael Hughes's shop at 172 North King Street, Dublin.
John Walsh and Michael Hughes were killed in front of their families.
At the subsequent inquests, the jury found that all of the victims were unarmed and unoffending prisoners in custody, and that they died from shock and haemorrhage caused by bullet wounds inflicted by a soldier or soldiers. The Coroner requested the presence of the officer-in-charge, to explain the circumstances of the actions of the soldiers under his command who had caused the deaths, but he failed to appear.
