A black-and-white photograph showing a muddy street filled with soldiers in uniform gathered around damaged buildings. Many soldiers stand or walk along the road, some looking toward the storefronts while others face different directions. On the right side is a wooden building with a sign reading “R & R Stores,” with additional signage advertising confectionery, refreshments, tobacco, and coffee. The storefront appears damaged, with broken windows and debris scattered on the ground nearby. In the middle distance, piles of wooden boards and rubble lie in the street near a partially damaged structure. Utility poles, trees, and several small buildings line the street in the background.

On March 4 and 5, 1919, Canadian soldiers began to riot at Kinmel Park in North Wales after their voyage home was postponed due to a number of factors.
The riots led to five deaths and 25 court martials.
This is the story.
