"On Board a Troop Transport. August 1941, on Board the Empress of Australia, on An African Troop Convoy. Most of the Troopships Employed Were Passenger Liners Before the War. Though a Gun Or Two May Have Been Mounted the Ships Still Have Their Facilities For Sports, Games and Recreation, and on the Occasions When They Are Not Carrying Large Contingents of Troops the Services Are Glad To Make USE of Them." Royal Marines at drill on board the transport.
