I have been carrying out some research on the 'Forcing the Narrows' in 1915
but seem to have to a blank with regard to the deployment merchantmen in
the operation.
I have got a reference from a family diary quoting that a steamer the
'Alnwick Castle' et al were involved but other than that I have no official
confirmation.
The merchantmen were carrying, it would seem, the 'Royal Naval Division'
made up most of the Royal Marines.
Can anyone help further with this?
Regards,
John Wood
