This chapter investigates the internment camp at Frongoch for rebels of the Easter Rising. Medical support and religious succour were important services that had to be sought. Publicity and propaganda were important to the internees. The clear deficiency of medical care resulted in widespread protests both inside and outside the camp. Data shows that Irish and Welsh classes were maintained at Frongoch, and that the inmates also developed their political education, although most of them had little understanding of political issues. Frongoch later went into Irish mythology, and the men who had ached there became part of a hierarchy of the revolutionary tradition. It then caught the Welsh imagination, particularly among the nationalist community, and additionally, developed an artificial society that had no hope of survival in a wider political arena.Less
