Kinmel Park mutiny
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 local military complex, Kinmel Camp. The riots are believed to have been caused by delays in repatriation and by the Canadian soldier's resentment at being used by their British officers as forced labour. About 15,000 Canadian troops were stationed at Kinmel Camp for a period after the First World War and were kept in undesirable conditions while their officers received pay and were free to leave the camp.
