• A sailor, Karl Brundig aged 21, a surviving crew member from the cruiser "Mainz" sunk at the Battle of Heligoland in 1914. It appears that the cause of his death was epilepsy and syncope, and he was buried at St. Peter's Parish Churchyard, the only one of the seven to be.
  
  
• A soldier, Konrad Flechsig from the 243rd Infantry Regiment who died on 12th May 1916 and was buried the following day at St. Brelade's Parish Churchyard.

The remains of the Germans rested where they had been laid, along with those of more than 200 of their fellow countrymen who died in the Second World War. The original crosses for the Great War deaths were, it is believed, made from old oak and were similar in shape to the Iron Cross, however these were replaced during the Second World War with an Iron Cross design with the swastika set in the middle of the cross.

After the war, the swastikas were removed from the cross, and possibly later in 1955 simple white crosses were introduced.

During 1961 a mass exhumation took place of the remains of many of the German war dead of both World Wars throughout the Channel Islands and these were transferred to the German Ossuary near Huisnes-sur-Mer in northern France.

The Camp Guards

At the present time it remains unclear as to which British unit(s) provided the camp guards, although it is suspected that this was undertaken by 351st Company, Royal Defence Corps, for which recruiting advertisements were placed in Jersey's Evening Post at odd times during the war, seeking to enlist men aged between 41 and 55 years.
