    We have many Canadians in town also from one of the ships there making there way to wales for a special service of remembrance for there country men killed in the mutiny.

    The Kinmel Park Mutiny of 4/5 March 1919

    "The mutineers were our own men, stuck in the mud of North Wales, waiting
    impatiently to get back to Canada - four months after the end of the war. The 15,000
    Canadian troops that concentrated at Kinmel didn't know about the strikes that had held
    up the fueling of ships and which had caused food shortages. The men were on half
    rations, there was no coal for the stove in the cold Grey huts, and they hadn't been paid
    for over a month. Forty-two had to sleep in a hut meant for thirty, so they each took turns
    sleeping on the floor, with one blanket each."
