On a voyage from England she averaged 14 knots, having overhauled more than 20 troopships bound for Australia. Commissioned in Glasgow in 1917, she carried troops to Capetown Bombay and Fremantle, then Sydney and Port Said before proceeding to the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean.

When the Withith Steel and Skies with Light
Fragmentary verse reflects on peace after conflict and memory of fallen, invoking banners, seas, and a mound for the dead. The text appears as a garbled elegy noting eyes, aging, hope, and the cost of vows. Unclear authorship suggested, possibly S Chappell or Betsey Bierce.
