November 19

The funeral of Lord Roberts takes place in St Paul's Cathedral.

Lieutenant Colonel G B Hinton take over the command of the 26th Brigade Royal Field Artillery from Colonel Cunliffe.

During a riot in the Aliens' Detention Camp at Douglas, on the Isle of Man, five prisoners are shot by the guards. An inquest is held on the 20th and 27th November by the High-Bailiff of Douglas (the coroner for inquests) and a jury. The verdict arrived at is, "that the five deaths were caused by justifiable measures forced upon the military authorities by the riotous behaviour of a large section of the prisoners interned."
