Brett,

I would agree with you.

The Times published long lists of those released. I am not sure if I have seen this list is any one place so I am planning on adding the information to this thread.

Kind regards

I would definitely agree with both of you. I have only researched this subject when looking for information about the 2nd Wiltshire's to include in my writing, but never did come across a definitive list of all prisoners, so it would be excellent to see the information.

In searching for the names of the men released, I came across this death reported in The Times of 6 Jul 00 of someone only recently released from Waterval:
