Some were mariners who left ships and enlisted at the port of Bristol or Liverpool. Some were stowaways. Some were residents with family also living in England, and some were compulsorily transferred from other regiments. They were usually sent to Plymouth where the main depot of the British West Indies Regiment was located, and in the early days were temporarily attached to the Royal Garrison Artillery until the next battalion disembarked in England. Later they were sent to meet the battalions disembarking in France or Egypt.
