These records indicate that this base was mainly used as a stopping-off point from which those captured would be either be discharged to another part of the penal system or exchanged. The data on prisoners is held in 2 General Entry Books which cover the period from August 1812 until March 1815. The latter of these two entry books is the only example of a type 3 General Entry Book within this collection. As part of a type 3 entry book, the records in this volume are focussed on when the prisoner was sent to and discharged from hospital; these entries reference the records in the preceding book which has resulted in them being much more concise than those records.
