Lawryleslie Posted 13 November , 2022 Share Posted 13 November , 2022 In May 1915, HMT Ivernia transported the Collingwood Battalion plus remnants of Hawke, Benbow and RND Engineers Battalions from Devonport to Mudros to join the Gallipoli campaign. The main bulk of RND had left earlier in March but the Collingwoods required further training time at Blandford Camp so we’re delayed. Ivernia left Devonport on 12th May arriving at Mudros 22nd May.
