jhill Posted 19 January , 2008 Share Posted 19 January , 2008 There are some industrious people over at this other place who have compiled a list of such things. According to this, the main body of the 31st sailed from Quebec on the Carpathia on 17th May. 1915, and arrived at Plymouth on the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
