The prisoners were about equally divided between the Catholic and Protestant faiths and each Sunday they marched down to their respective churches usually singing their National songs. One of each faith died while there and were buried in the local cemetery. Some years ago their remains were removed and interred in the German National Cemetery in Glencree. Early in 1916, the German prisoners were eventually transferred to England. It was rumoured that the South Tipperary Volunteers were planning the release of the prisoners.
