39: GIBRALTAR MUTINY
Stuart Reid

In Captain John Drinkwater's 'A History of the I-ate Siege of Gibralter, with a description and account of the Garrison from the earliest periods' [London 1785], mention is made of an attempted mutiny by a part of the garrison in about 1760. Men of several regiments were said to have been involved and a soldier named Read [no relation] of the 9th Foot was executed. Can anyone provide further details of the incident and the units involved. ?
