    Biography contributed

    Michael John McHugh had been in Ireland after recovering from influenza when the 1916 Easter Uprising began on the 20th of April. He found himself caught up in the defence of Trinity College. Reports vary, but it seems likely that a number of other ANZACs and Canadians were also at Trinity.
