Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 Name: Timothy Pennington Date of Arrival: 29 May 1919 Vessel: Regina Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachusetts Port of Departure: Liverpool, England Roll: T-14795
Pte Timothy Pennington 4K4623 BC R 40 Bn returning to Joggins Mines N.S.
Timothy was stationed in Kinmel Park Camp while waiting transport home after WW1.
On 4 and 5 March 1919, Kinmel Park in Bodelwyddan, near Abergele, north Wales, experienced two days of riots in the Canadian sector of the military complex. The riots were believed to have been caused by delays in repatriation. The 15,000 Canadian troops had been stationed in Kinmel Camp for a period after the First World War, and were kept in undesirable conditions due to strikes.
"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 held up the fuelling 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 slept in a hut meant for thirty, so they each took turns sleeping on the floor, with one blanket each."
