Thank you in advance for helping.
I am looking for any list of passengers for this and other ships departing London at various times in the period say 1905 to WW1. Most likely from 1909, but may be earlier. On the WW1 boards are several threads for Fromelles missing, particularly for those 19 lads who were born in UK, and as young men emigrated to Australia (often as farm hands, agricultural workers, and the like).
Several seem to have emigrated from London in late 1911, arriving NSW Australia, - Sydney 11 January 1912 on Themistocles. It may be a co-incidence, or perhaps they were part of an Emigration Plan, so perhaps the passenger list may include many single men with perhaps a "Matron". I am not certain of that concept.
The WW1 Mod has kindly listed each of them
(only 19 there) and their own specific thread on ONE thread, so may I list that main locked thread here please, so you can all read their names. They fell at Fromelles 19/20 July 1916, and the CWGC and other official organisations are attempting the identification process as the UK media will have been keeping you informed about the mass grave at Fromelles.
Thank you in advance. The list of the Fromelles missing who were in the Australian Army but born in UK is

LEST WE FORGET.
