Maidin Dé Máirt an 25 Aibreán, agus na hÓglaigh faoi chith trom na n-urchar ó mheaisínghunnaí a bhí suite ar dhíon an United Service Club agus Óstán Shelbourne, d’eisigh an Ceannfort Michael Mallin orduithe chun tarraingt amach as Páirc Fhaiche Stiabhna.
Agus buíon bheag d’Óglaigh lonnaithe i gColáiste Ríoga na Máinleá cheana féin, chinn Mallin go mbeadh an foirgneamh maorga eibhir seo (a bhí gar do gharastún na nÓglach ag monarcha bhrioscaí Jacobs (ar Shráid Aungier) láidir go leor lena chosaint.
Bhí na hÓglaigh ar fad le slógadh ag dealbh an Tiarna Ardílaun agus an bóthar a thrasnú chuig an mbealach isteach ar thaobh Choláiste Ríoga na Máinleá ar Shráid Eabhrac. Agus sin á dhéanamh acu, fuair na reibilíúnaigh bualadh reatha faoi chith na n-urchar ó naoscairí agus ón meaisínghunna Lewis a bhí suite sa United Service Club, as a raibh radharc soiléir amach ar an mbóthar os comhair an Choláiste.
Rinne na hÓglaigh líne taobh thiar den dealbh chun am fhad a reatha a thomhas, agus lucht na meaisínghunnaí ag athrú a gcuid piléarlann caite, rud a thug cúpla soicind dóibh le sábháilteacht Shráid Eabhrac a shroicheadh, cúig mhéadar is tríocha ar shiúl, sular thosaigh cith na n-urchar arís. Bualadh go leor Óglach, an tÓglach George Fullarton san áireamh, ach níor bhásaigh aon duine díobh.
On Tuesday morning, the 25th April 1916 (the 2nd day of the Easter Rising), with the Volunteers under intense fire from machine guns positioned on the roof of the United Service Club and at the Shelbourne Hotel, Commandant Michael Mallin issued orders to withdraw from St Stephen’s Green Park.
With a small group of Volunteers already in position in the Royal College of Surgeons, Mallin decided that this imposing granite building (which was close to the Volunteer garrison at the Jacob’s biscuit factory on Aungier Street) would be strong enough to defend.
All the Volunteers were to rally at the statue of Lord Ardilaun and cross the road to the side entrance of the Royal College of Surgeons on York Street. In so doing, the rebels had to run the gauntlet of snipers and the Lewis machine gun positioned in the United Service Club, which had a clear line of sight onto the road in front of the College.
Volunteers lined up behind the statue to time their run with the changing of spent machine gun magazines. This gave them seconds to make it to the safety of York Street, thirty five metres away, before bullets started to fly again. Several Volunteers were hit, including Volunteer George Fullerton, but none died.
