April 20 1916 according to - www.adams.ie/SECRET-ORDERS-ISSUED-TO-MILITARY-OFFICERS-kn... Yours for €1,000.00

From the above link - "... The Nationalist weekly paper, New Ireland, edited by Patrick J. Little (1884-1963), published the text of the document, a single sheet handbill entitled ''Secret Orders issued to Military Officers'' in its issue for Saturday 22 April 1916 (vol. II no. 49), just two days before the Easter Rising began. However MacNeill discovered, sometime around 20 April that the 'Castle Document' was a fake. He put an advertisement in the Irish Independent newspaper which told all volunteers that 'No parades, marches or other movements of the Volunteers will take place.' This cancellation caused the IRB to move back the rebellion one day to Easter Monday - 24 April, 1916. Many rural Volunteers, who had come to town on Sunday only to hear the rebellion was cancelled, returned home. Although all the Rising's leaders now realised that they were doomed, they still went ahead with the plans for rebellion. There are only one or two recorded copies of this important document in public records. Very few can have survived as the printing would appear to have been small and the method of distribution via newspapers aborted. None of the textbook histories actually quote from it but rather paraphrase its content.. In terms of this identification, the only full printing of the was in the last issue of New Ireland before its suppression just prior to the Rising. ... ... "

"and what was the result of the operation?" The divided Ireland you enjoy to this day.

So this is the actual text of the Castle Document forgery?

“Northwestern was pressed into service by the United States Navy during World War II, and was serving as housing for workers at Dutch Harbor on Unalaska when the area was bombed by the Japanese in June 1942. On 4 June a bomb struck her, inflicting extensive damage”

It wasn’t until recently that the US government acknowledged that the Japanese had in fact bombed the US Continent.

The Case of the Mistaken Tweedlepunches By Leela Wittmer | 8 April 2021 Have you seen this captivating image on a recent visit to the library and wondered who it might be showing off a decapitated head so nonchalantly? Well, you wouldn’t be the only one. Recently I received a query from a member of the public about who this mysterious gentleman might be. They had an ancestor whose photograph they had in a similar costume striking a similar pose - head on a stick and all. They were wondering if our man might be him. I was quite excited at first. Identifying people in photographs can be incredibly frustrating and ultimately fruitless but sometimes with a bit of lateral thinking and perseverance, you might discover the character – especially in such a richly interesting photograph like this. With this in mind, I was pretty disappointed when I discovered that we had already identified the gentleman on our website as amateur actor George Lauri playing the character Anothony Tweedlepunch in Edwardian musical comedy Florodora.
