Good Morning,

I am trying to find a picture of:

A troop carrier in W.W.1
My GFather served in the Royal Irish Rifles, and shipped to France aboard the above.

Many thanks,

Joan,
I did a " Google" search fo "S S Anglo Canadian" and there are 2
sites with a Muster Roll and information to share.
I think you might find help there.
Cheers.

Hi Maureen and Hugh,

Thank you for your quick replies to my email!
However, I know there were TWO S.S. ANGLO CANADIAN ships,
but only the FIRST one was a W.W.1 troop carrier.
I am sure it had another name first, but was quickly converted to a troop carrier, and received a name change.

Hi Joan

There is a book by David C E Burrell entitled The Nitrate Boats--Published by the World Ship Society in 1995 it should have some details maybe or a photo?

If i see a photo any where i will let you know.

Regards Hugh.
