Great photo "Z"! 
Earlier in this thread I posted three photos of some kilt wearing students from St. Edna's. As I recall none followed Colbert into the Easter Rising.
Just above those photos I also posted a photo of Commandant Thomas Ashe, who occupied North County Dublin at Easter 1916 for the Irish Republic.
