The Kinmel Park Military Camp Riots

On 4 and 5 March 1919 Kinmel Park in 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 soldiers’ resentment at being used by their British officers as forced labour.
