As the Rising ended, there was little sign of support for the rebels in Dublin. A factor which influenced the way the rebels were treated by local people was the level of British military service in the areas around the main sites of the Rising. It is easy to understand how the ‘separation women’ would have been especially angry. Across the war, 1,082 men from these roads served in the British military. It is not clear when all enlisted, but there are enlistment dates for 658 of them. Of those, 528 were already serving when the Rising began. If those for whom an enlistment date has not survived had joined up at similar times, then we can expect that around 868 of the 1,082 were already serving. Of these, 121 had already been killed before the Rising; 14 were killed at Hulluch between 27 and 29 April 1916, and another 170 later in the war.
