Post; SS Dunluce Castle


My G.Great uncle served with the Australian Infantry 8th battlalion in WW1. I have his army records that tell me his movements after he was wounded. He died from his wounds aboard the SS Dunluce Castle and was buried at sea. I have been trying to find a photo of this ship for about 2 years and have had no success. I'd be grateful if anyone can put me on the right track .Is it possible to find out who his CO might have been.

Cheers

Dunlunce Castle is the second large picture.

Thanks Dean. Obviously I hadn't seen that site. Nice to see the ship where he lost his battle for life.

Thanks for your help. An interesting site in which I got side tracked as you do.
