The 1916 Easter Rising changed the course of Irish history. Seven men put their names to the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, and in signing it, each man knew they were in all likelihood signing their death warrants.

脡amonn Ceannt was born in the village of Ballymoe, Galway. His father, James Kent, was a Royal Irish Constabulary officer. When his father retired, the family moved to Dublin. They were a very religious Catholic family and it is said that Ceannt's religious teachings stayed with him for the rest of his life.

During the uprising, he was made commandant of the 4th Battalion of the Volunteers, with more than 100 men under his command. His unit saw intense fighting at times during the week but surrendered when ordered to by his superior officer Patrick Pearse.
