Title: Troopship Portland/Southampton
Post by: steve100 on Thursday 08 September 11 22:42 BST (UK)
Would anyone have any idea if there is any record of a troopship arriving in Portland/Southampton from India,with Royal Welsh Fusiliers onboard,March 1914? I have a seen a photograph on the isleofportlandpictures website of the RWF marching up Verne Hill,but was just wondering if anyone could suggest anything else? I have been in touch with the RWF.

Maybe the local (Southampton) newspaper (Echo) might have a record in their archives?
