Hospital Ships

[ruthpbloom]

I'm trying to find the records of ships used as hospital ships to take wounded soldiers back to CANADA. Specifically, I'm looking for the passenger list of a ship which apparently carried a civilian passenger as well as wounded soldiers, from England to Canada in November or December 1917.

I assume that these ships are not listed in the 'BT' series at The National Archives, but cannot find them elsewhere.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

I don't know if they cover the War years.
