Michael Collins & 1916 Prisoners In Welsh Internment Camp In Frongoch
This week I attended a fantastic talk at the Liverpool Irish Centre about Frongoch, the internment camp in North Wales where 1,800 revolutionaries from the 1916 rising were held for 7 months, including Michael Collins. It became known as the University of Revolution because the prisoners took classes while interned, but also made plans while all together for the war of independence that followed after their release.
