AT Carisbrooke Castle

On 3rd September 1914 she was commissioned as a hospital ship with 439 beds and acted as a cross channel ferry but proved to be too large in comparison to the number of wounded she could carry so was transferred to the Army for trooping with a capacity for 1500 troops.
In January 1915 she carried troops to Alexandria and took a Canadian Field Hospital to Salonika and thereafter ferried troops between Salonica, Mudros and Alexandria.
In 1916 she carried troops between Malta and Salonica
Then in 1918 was used as a cross channel troop ferry once again.
