Army burials in Bermuda

Army burials in Bermuda

Remembering those who are buried in Bermuda, British Overseas Territory. Includes 2nd/4th (Territorial) Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment stationed on the island, and men of the 4th Battalion (3rd Jamaica War Contingent) of the British West Indies Regiment who sailed on HMT Verdala on 6 March 1916 under sealed orders, arriving at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in the middle of a blizzard. The worst cases of illness were left in Canada when the ship made a return journey to Bermuda to allow the remainder of the men to recover, but sadly more died from the effects of cold. A memorial to Artillery servicemen is located in St. Georges including four men of the Bermuda Militia Artillery who died in an explosion at Daniel’s Head, Somerset on 17 February 1915 as they tried to erect a wireless aerial pylon // Still to add: Joseph Marshall Royal Canadian Regiment, 5x Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps // incomplete
