NAPOLEON'S ST HELENA by Gilbert Martineau
-----------------------------------------
The following names have been transcribed from the above book
published in 1968 which had been translated from the French by
Frances Partridge.
Napoleon was detained on St Helena from October 1815 until his
death in May 1821 at the age of 51.
During this time the British maintained a large garrison on the
island and a fleet of warships constantly on patrol.:-
"By day and night the guns were kept manned, the coast patrolled,
and pickets and sentinels posted. These were provided by the 53rd
regiment (600 men), the St Helena regiment (600 men)
the 66th regiment (700 men), The St Helena artillery (300 men)
a detachment of the Royal Artillery (60 men) and a troop of
mounted dragoons (20 men). There wre nearly 500 guns ready for
action. The Naval Force under a Rear Admiral consisted of the
flagship HMS Newcastle (60 guns) to guard the port, a frigate kept
watch on the other approach to the island and two brigs cruised
one to leeward and one to windward of the island for weeks on end
without dropping anchor."
The ships mentioned in the book have been listed separately and
can be found after the alphabetical listing of the names.
