本文利用军事服务养老金收集（MSPC）最近发布的档案，评估了可用的档案证据，以评估在1916年复活节起义中有多少叛军被认为是服兵役的。它认为，尽管MSPC有助于更准确地估计参与起义的人数，特别是在都柏林以外的地区，但它并不能构成复活节周活跃的叛乱分子的最终数字。通过对军事服务养老金评估标准的审查，它显示了为崛起的人提供认可的养老金服务的决定如何受到地理，政治，法律挑战，申请时间和个人评估人员的主观评估的影响。
Using recently released archives from the Military Service Pensions Collection (MSPC), this article assesses the archival evidence available for assessing how many rebels are recognised as having military service in the Easter Rising of 1916. It argues that while the MSPC contributes towards a more accurate estimation of the number who participated in the Rising, especially in the regions outside Dublin, it does not constitute a definitive figure for rebels active in Easter week. Through an examination of the assessment criteria for military service pensions, it shows how the decision to grant recognised pensionable service for the Rising was affected by geography, politics, legal challenges, the timing of an application, and the subjective assessment of individual assessors.
