All 29 members of Rathduane company turned out in Millstreet

OF THE companies that marched to Mount Leader outside Millstreet, Rathduane was the largest; all its 29 members at Easter 1916 turned out.

Like the smaller companies of Mushera and Keale, it had been formed in November 1915.

The Volunteers in Millstreet town had only seven members at Easter 1916, but all turned out, and all but two of the neighbouring Mushera and Keale companies were present.
