Mary McLoughlin (1901–1956) was one of the women who actively served in the 1916 Easter Rising. The younger sister of the famed "Boy Commandant General" Sean McLoughlin, at fifteen years old, she served as a dispatcher during the uprising, running messages between the various outposts held by the rebels. She is one of about 2000 participants of the Easter Rising who gave witness statements to document the events in the 1950s, after Ireland gained its independence. Provided by Wikipedia
