The Hampshire Regiment's 2nd Battalion had a significant presence in Bermuda, particularly before and during World War I. The regiment's history includes a deployment to Bermuda in the 1880s and a later presence during World War I, contributing to the island's defense and garrison duties. While the 2nd Battalion was primarily engaged in the Gallipoli campaign and later on the Western Front, the 1st and 2nd Battalions were also involved in various garrison duties around the world, including Bermuda. The Hampshire Regiment's presence in Bermuda, particularly in the 1880s and during World War I, highlights the regiment's role in the British military's global deployment and its contribution to the defense of British colonies and territories. | VASS, John Henry (I3960)

The Publications of the Huguenot Society of London, volume VIII (1893), lists Evyn MOTYER as having been in England for 10 years, as of 1 July 1544, so this could mean that he came to England around 1532, when he was about 2-years-old. | MOTYER, Evyn (I6231)

A number of men of the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps went for duty with the Lincolnshire Regiment, and one of the first contingent was Stanley Arthur Shelton, who died in February 1941. A later contingent crossed the English Channel to join the late 1944 push from France into Germany. In late August, the first to be lost was Allison William Bluck Fowle, buried at Calvados, France; his death was followed by that of Warren James Harris in The Netherlands in early October.

The West India Regiments (WIR) were infantry units of the British Army recruited from and normally stationed in the British colonies of the Caribbean between 1795 and 1927. Initially, battalions were established in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and other Caribbean islands. They were formed in 1796, and disbanded in 1888. In 1888, the two West India Regiments then in existence were reduced to a single unit of two battalions. This regiment differed from similar forces raised in other parts of the British Empire in that it formed an integral part of the regular British Army. | WILLIAMS, Lt. Conway James George (I3038)

There are two stories concerning the history of this unfinished house, which stood for over a century in Chiswell.
One was that it belonged to a sea captain, who was building this house for his fiancée. However, she died and, in his grief, he left the house unfinished.
The alternative is that it belonged to the notorious Dr. Motyer, who was a quack exploiting the Portlander's ignorance of medicine. He sold 'cures' for witchcraft, and scared the locals around Mallams with unearthly sounds and screams at night.
I published an account of the Captain's House and the reason for its sad state in the Free Portland News, issue dated August 1990. This is reproduced here as a 'true' account of the building:
Known variously as the 'Doctor's House' or the 'Captain's House', I can now reveal that it was originally owned by the infamous Dr. Motyer, whom Stuart Morris describes in his illustrated History of Portland as a quack and a conjurer. Reg Perry has shown me a photograph dating from the mid-1800s, which clearly shows the building with a roof. However, it was derelict by the turn of the 19th century. In fact, Dr. Motyer was one of the last alchemists, who worked to turn iron and lead into gold. He was feared by all who lived close by, because of his weird chemical experiments.
One fateful night in March 1868, residents of Underhill were shaken from their beds by a fantastic explosion. They ran out in their night attire to see the old doctor's house blown to bits. The roof was totally gone, and only a few cracked walls were left standing.
By the light of the following dawn, a fantastic sight was seen by locals. The fatal explosion must have culminated in the doctor's alchemical success, since the entire area around Artist's Row, Mallams and Kings Street was speckled with gold. There were chaotic scenes, as the locals dug and sieved every square inch of their gardens. It was like the Klondike, with small pouches of gold dust being legal tender at the old Sun Inn in Fortuneswell. Locals kept this affair a closely guarded secret from strangers (i.e. those from Tophill), lest there be any claim jumping.
This is why it has been difficult for me to find the facts surrounding this true story. The doctor died 'in testate', hardly surprising in view of the force of the explosion, and so the house had to remain in its present decaying state, until a distant relative could be found. | MOTYER, John (I316)

There must have been some concern about the health of John, or "Johnny" as he was known, for he was baptized on the day he was born, and later was received in church on 11 Apr 1900. | COOPER, John Francis “Johnny” (I1080)

There's a lot of history in the Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, but it's the history under the building that could be a challenge to the church's expansion plans. The diocese wants to build a new two-storey annex and ministry centre attached to the historic building off Duckworth Street in St. John's. But a local historian is concerned that expansion will disturb the burial ground of as many as 20,000 migrant fishermen from more than 300 years ago. The area was a cemetery, but the bodies seemed to have been moved sometime around 1885, and possibly re-interred at the cemetery on Forest Road. Many of the graves would be unmarked and dating back to the late 1600s. People would have been wrapped in cloth and placed on top of each other.
Well over a million men came through the province during the days when the cemetery was operating, and with the short life expectancies of the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries in the fishing and trading industries, plus rampant spread of disease, it's difficult to pinpoint how many people could be buried there. This operated for 170 years, with a much larger mobile population moving through it. So, we're probably dealing with the largest pre-Confederation cemetery for working people in Canada. People would have been stacked. In Quebec City they're 10 deep, so probably 14 to 15 deep here. | COOPER, Richmond William Hunt (I3959)
