An interesting article re a Nationalist worker/supporter, Cesca Chenevix Trench, from a Unionist family :
A Young Nationalist in the Easter Rising
The photo is from the 1965 film Young Cassidy rather than an Easter Rising photo.
She mentions her brother Reggie being killed while serving in the British Army.
He appears to have been Major Charles Reginald Chenevix Trench who died on the 21st March 1918 whilst serving with the Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment).
His military careers appears to have started with the Inns of Court Officer Training Corps in London in approximately 1912. He joined the 2/5th Battalion Sherwood Foresters as a Captain on the 9th June 1916 and was promoted to temporary Major on the 30th July 1917.
