Newfoundland Royal Naval Reserve The Newfoundland Royal Naval Reserve was a military reserve force founded in 1902 in what was then the Colony of Newfoundland , a part of the British Empire . A steam and sail powered training ship , HMS " Calypso " , was provided by the United Kingdom . 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 180 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 1902 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 . Contributions during World War I . When World War 1 began Walter Edward Davidson , the governor of Newfoundland , committed to increasing the Reserve to 1000 men , and to do so relaxed some of the age and health requirements for joining . In less than a year that number was exceeded . Unlike the Royal Newfoundland Regiment , which served as an intact unit , the men of the Naval Reserve were dispersed throughout the Royal Navy . A list of those who served with the Naval Reserve between 1914 and 1918 is available on - line . The members of the Naval Reserve are represented by a sailor holding a spyglass on the west wing of the Newfoundland National War Memorial in St . John ' s . Members of the Reserve who died during the war are honoured at the Beaumont - Hamel Newfoundland Memorial in France . Sir Winston Churchill remarked that the Newfoundlanders were " the best small boat men in the world " .
