None of the boats were sunk in the Dardanelles.

It is unlikely that he served in the Dardanelles campaign as he only joined the navy in early/mid 15.

That looks like family stories.

Swiftsure and Europa both served in the North Atlantic when he on them.

I have just found a war record for my grandfather and it states he served on Pembroke I during 1917 and 1918, though each time it appears to be for a couple of months.

As has been explained, Pembroke I, II and so on were onshore establishments.
