Member's Room Societe Jersiaise Map
A talk by Sue Corbel and Gill James with slides, about the Garrison at Elizabeth Castle and Fort Regent and their births, deaths and marriages. It looks at the historical hospital building at Elizabeth Castle and how it was used, the causes of deaths, including high infant mortality and the drownings on the causeway. The talk includes stories of some of the families and how the military on our island became a permanent part of our history and covers the period from 1777 until 1923 when the Military handed over the castle to the States of Jersey.
