SS Crown of Cadiz Jul 1917 Barbados Citizens' Contingent
Travelling from the West Indies the ship arrived in London on 10 July 1917. The Barbados Citizens’ Contingent Committee was formed about the end of November 1915, and the original promoters of the movement were Messrs Dudley G Leacock, FAC Collymore and RG Cave. The primary object of the Committee was to enable men of respectable parentage to proceed to England to join His Majesty’s Forces – either the Royal Navy or English fighting regiments, and thus to take their part in the Great War.
