The role of the Garrison in Newfoundland between the years 1815 and 1870.

In 1870 an important chapter in the history of Newfoundland came to a close when the British government withdrew the military garrison at St. John's.

The most alarming military danger between 1793 and 1815 came from the British forces stationed at Newfoundland who would mutiny over grievances.

There was not a single governor of Plaisance who did not complain about the lack of soldiers and the mediocrity of those he did have.
