The Royal Austrian Navy in WWI (Part II)

Men of the 1st Royal Australian Navy Bridging Train at Suvla Bay

With the first AIF convoy safely arrived in Egypt, the escorting ships were free to be deployed elsewhere. But while the ANZAC troops were landing at Gallipoli, the submarine AE2 was pushing forward through the Turkish minefields embarking on five days of 'running amok' throughout the Dardanelles. Later in the Campaign, the 1st Royal Australian Navy Bridging Train forged their own part of the Gallipoli story supporting the British landing at Suvla Bay. And we tell the forgotten story of the RAN's 'almost' mutiny.
