Newfoundland Royal Naval Reserve
The Newfoundland Royal Naval Reserve was a military reserve force founded in 1900 in what was then the Colony of Newfoundland, a part of the British Empire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://home.thezone.net/~ainal/for_king_and_country.htm )〕 From 1900 to 1902, approximately 50 members of the reserve trained each winter with the North American and West Indies squadron of the Royal Navy until a steam and sail powered training ship, HMS ''Calypso'', was provided by the United Kingdom in 1902 for local drills before at-sea training with the NA and WI squadron.〔Mark C. Hunter, ''To Employ and Uplift Them: The Newfoundland Naval Reserve, 1899-1926'' (St. John's, NL: ISER Books, 2009), pp. 33-63 and 〕 The reserve had 375 members by late 1903 and then between five and six hundred reservists until the start of World War I, growing to over 1000 in 1915. 1,964 Newfoundlanders served with the Naval Reserve in World War I, suffering 192 fatalities. The Reserve disbanded in 1920-1921. ''Calypso'', having been renamed HMS ''Briton'', was sold as a storage hulk and was burned for salvage near Lewisporte, Newfoundland and Labrador.
==Establishment of the Reserve==
The Naval Reserve was established in 1900 with the government paying for the expenses of men who came to St. John's for 28 days of training on board HMS ''Calypso''. The vessel was to have been berthed at Argentia, but Sir Cavendish Boyle, the governor, suggested that most people, crew and citizens alike, would appreciate having the ship docked in St. John's.〔 After their training, the men were to be available for service for five years. Similar Reserves were formed in other countries and colonies of the British Empire.
