Frongoch Internment Camp.

Hi Everyone,

Many people who were involved in the ‘1916 Rising’ were interned in the Frongoch internment camp in Wales. Wondering if there is  a list of prisoners available online that i can access?

Hi Barry,
 thank you for taking the time to answer, Grt Uncle Martin, was up at Stephens Green, he went from
Richmond Barracks, to Knutsford detention barracks, and then to Frongoch, I wrote to Cathal Brugha
Barracks, and they sent me 3 witness statements, but unfortunately he isn't mentioned in them, and they have said he never applied for a pension, so I don't know anything else about him,
Thanks
Sue

Interesting.

My own grandfather was in the same places, except he was in Jacobs .
Do you know where your relative lived ,

I will have a look and see can i find anything over the next few days ,i am just busy at the moment with work and such , but i will check it out .

Hi Barry,
He lived at 12, Coombe, the strange thing about him, is that his brother, my Grandad, John Shannon,
was in the British Army, in the Fourth Hussars in 1916, he was fighting in the Middle East, probably
at the same time,
