alf mcm Posted 6 October , 2017 Share Posted 6 October , 2017 I have been looking at the records for Nursing Sister Sarah Edith McLelland, Q.A.R.N.N.S. Her service record {on ADM 104} shows that she was transferred to Hospital Ship 'Magic' on 17th December 1914. She left the ship, sick, on 24th December 1915. The only H.M.S. Magic I can find is a Destroyer launched in 1915. Could the Hospital Ship Magic be a merchant ship taken into naval service? Has anyone any details of this ship?

Knotty Posted 6 October , 2017 Share Posted 6 October , 2017 Hi Alf Hope this is of some use, apparently she belonged to the Belfast Steamship Company. http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/BSS_Magic.html John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf mcm Posted 6 October , 2017 Author Share Posted 6 October , 2017 Thanks for your reply John. This explains the 2 ships having the same names. I couldn't see a War Diary on the National Archives for Magic. Regards, Alf Mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
